But they are only banned in public schools and some libraries’ children sections. That’s not really banned. It’s restricted access. And considering adults were not allowed to quote the contents of these books at school board meetings because they were so inappropriate, that is probably a good thing. Not to mention I’m pretty sure some of those banned titles included pornographic straight materials as well.

This kind of censorship confuses me. If the books are inappropriate for the intended audience, then of course they shouldn't be as available, but this is often not the case. As you address in the video, these types of books can help to resonate with people who have similar struggles, but also, they shouldn't be banned because banning books takes away the intellectual freedoms of potential readers. As people with rights, we should be allowed to form our own ideas and opinions, heavy control of the media limits this because people can't explore other ideas or see other perspectives beyond their own. Even if someone isn't lgbtq, is it so bad that by reading the book, they can understand a different perspective?

As I stated in another comment. Schools should be just a careful about what books they give students access to as what movies they show. The problem is there isn’t a rating system for books like with movies and they don’t require parent approval to check out books (and I don’t think they should require it) so I think is perfectly reasonable for them to limit what books are in school libraries. If parent want to give their child a book that the school can’t provide that up to the parents, just like they can show their child movies that the school can’t. Parent have a right to know what their children are being exposed to.

If these kids are old enough to drive, they should be old enough to read about sex. Half of them have been doing it for a couple years anyway. Also, the internet exists. Think about what’s on it.

@claudeyaz Please tell me what books were in libraries for middle schoolers that were "sexual"? Nearly all the books being banned for younger kids are just for LGBTQ+ content they deem 'sexual for existing or age appropriate sex education on puberty, bodies etc. I think there was one incident in one library where Genderqueer was shelved for middle schoolers (probably because a lot of people assume graphic novels or comics are "for kids") which it shouldn't be but that doesn't mean we need statewide book bans on hundreds of books including completely non sexual books that depict same sex weddings or transgender people.

@@zomzomino Thats twisting my words. In my honest opinion, I think safe sex is teaching people to take it seriously. Like it used to be taught no sex until marriage. That actually worked for a majority of the population. Nothing good has come about due to promiscuity and expecting sex without consequences. Only pain. This is all my opinion, but I am basing that opinion off of facts, statistics and personal observations during my own adulthood. In the context of this video and this subject; yeah, sex ed should be the parents job. Life was better when we relied on ourselves instead of the government.

Try going to a bookstore, or city library, How did an non employee even get in the school let alone randomly allowed to wander to the library. Also... how old is this kid. "Teen" is a bit broad. Cause if they were in high-school they would have a bunch of them because the restrictions were mostly for younger students, ya know cause porn isn't for kids. But yeah keep pushing the lies.

This is a skit meant to showcase unfair restrictions, so the school setting isn’t accurate. Queer content is not sexual in the same way that heterosexuality is not inherently sexual.

@@starry_skylights the kids can get the books elsewhere its just a school ban. Please don't pretend that the books don't also contain graphic sexual content as well. They wouldn't have straight sexual content at the schools either so you can stop pretending that there is targeted descrimination. Hell, MAUS was banned for mouse nudity, and not the depiction of concentration camps.
