[@diacarat]

not to mention whenever this happens the media jumps on claiming its an "LGBTQ" book that parents want banned just to make sure people react the way that you said. all this state mandated sex ed curricula and these books in libraries feels like a pedophilic attack on children under the name of gay people, who spent years trying to break the idea that being gay inherently involves pedophilia. this is the pedophiles overtaking of the gay rights movement that we were told was a slippery slope and wouldn't ever happen. this is intentional, so you can be called a bigot when you speak out against pedophilia.

It's hard to see if they dont have kids or nieces/nephews going through this shit. Where I am one of the most prestigious schools in the country just "celebrated" their first trans student. My question is would you have a celebration for a straight child's sexual preference? They are a child? Why are they glorifying the sexual preferences of CHILDREN. People who dont deal with the school system dont understand what's happening. The school psychologists are essentially separating all the kids they have deemed "quirky" (tomboys, effeminate boys) and telling them they're "different" because they're actually gay or in the wrong body.

I read a book called Kaffir Boy in school. It was an autobiography and had a small piece of a chapter that described the prostitution of 10-year-old boys in Africa.

When I was a high schooler, I once went to the local library to get some books out for the weekend and was so annoyed that there was a mom sitting in front of the YA shelf I needed, going through every book her teenage kids handed her that they were interested in reading. Today, as 30+ year old adult, I WISH more parents did that. Maybe not blocking the shelf from other patrons, but her diligence at checking every book that was going to come into their home and making sure she agreed with the values of the content her kids were reading is something I find incredibly praiseworthy today. Major kudos to her, whoever she is. I hope her kids grew up to be adults with values as strong as hers.

Anyways, I am wondering if your county currently has am active group which could help you find such a list, if ones exists. I'm NOT advocating being on FB ( I've gotten off, didn't want to fund Zuckerberg & those HE funds, even a tiny bit), but FB is where most are (or maybe u can find some on MeWe). Check in "discover groups", search for for your county name and words like patriot or constitution or republic ( or try state name if need be). In WI, in 2020 we had a bunch start. The ones near me are all very sound-of-mind people, seeking lawful, peaceful ways to get us back to the constitution and so on. They know about the gr8 reset, etc. too, and lots of other factual things, on which they share facts and solid info with sources and references. Ours often have featured guest speakers of note, and have different topics of focus for the bi-monthly meetings. They have been big on issues of school boards and things like the topic of this YT video above. They've been great as providing and creating helpful things, along similar lines as what you're asking for, so, I would be surprised if someone there didn't have knowledge of one.

I was given the book ‘Lolita,’ by Vladimir Nabokov, as an assignment my junior year of COLLEGE… The class had so many prerequisites that you really could not have taken it much earlier, maybe sophomore year at the earliest. That book was HEAVY on the creepy, graphic/sexual imagery, and I acknowledged that a reason it wasn’t presented to me until college age is because, the creep is so heavy in that book that you really have to be mature and have strong reading comprehension skills in order to still look at it as a work of literature and discuss it impartially- which is very hard to do when you are reading a few hundred pages about an adult man fantasizing over a prepubescent girl. It is nuts what they’re expecting kids to learn before they even hit puberty these days! Also; can I just say that since not every child develops the same, I was a very late bloomer and very awkward for most of my life; if someone had forced me to read books like this, I would have been mortified and felt so guilty that I probably would have been having stomach aches and not being able to sleep. I experienced many times as a kid that I learned a new bad word or read something I wasn’t supposed to and was petrified to ask my mom what I had heard or read, out of fear of getting in trouble for learning or doing something too adult too early on. So I can’t even imagine, how it feels for these young children whose parents do not want them looking at this stuff and consuming this stuff, to be told by their superiors in school that they need to be and that their parents are wrong and this is what’s good for them. I feel like we’ve got to have a lot of anguished young people these days. It’s super crazy to me that all of this is in the name of humanitarianism, inclusion, equity and equality… But if anyone gets hurt along the way, who gives a shit! Like this is all the most backwards thing ever… I cringe every time I think about being a leftist in the past, because I really did it thinking that the left was the side of caring and compassion… Flash forward to the present and it’s literally a group of the worlds most narcissistic people who think they are never wrong about anything, being the biggest hypocrites by forcing their opinions and views on others and not allowing other people to live their own lives. 🤦‍♀️

I read books in high school with adult content, but it wasn't the focus of the book. It was fantasy books that happened to have adult content in them. The Wheel of Time series is one example. Personally, I think in those cases it's alright, because it's just part of the world and experiences of the characters, not a political message being pushed, and not the main focus of the book. It's like when an adult scene shows up in a James Bond movie. Not something you'd actively promote to teenagers, but not the end of the world if they see it

We love lively conversations/debates around the dinner table in my family, usually regarding a latest book, article or podcast.

Now while I’m against book banning in all cases because of the underlying nature of that practice, I definitely think there should be warnings and restrictions on getting a hold of these books for students. It wouldn’t be hard to have the parents sign a permission slip at the beginning of the year saying on the students library account that they could check out books with graphic content. Not to mention, this would come with putting warnings on books like this and giving them their own section out of other sections. In regards to this book, I can’t make judgements about it cause I never read it but from what I heard, if they are glorifying sexual acts between 10 year olds, this needs to be restricted immediately. Abuse between children does happen in real life and shouldn’t be shunned to the shadows but if you are using it in your stories for more than just describing the suffering of a child, that doesn’t sit right with me at all and your book should be restricted yesterday, not today.

T Heading into pre-practice of my bachelor's degree in Physical Education and one of the requirements also explicitly established it as an objective of the class curriculum that "the teacher candidate must be able to attend parent teacher conferences to be able to learn how to include parents in the learning process of the student". The more you learn about the educational part about being the teacher and comparing it to practical scenarios, the more you discover that being a teacher Is one of the most hypocritical professions. I got two examples. Example #1 teachers including parents to discuss the student's progress with the content and receive parent feedback on how to improve their learning process in regards to the content, yet failing to do so in real life out of fear that the parents might expose their LGQBT propaganda included in their content.

I researched highly contended and controversial books, and 33 Snowfish and The Bluest Eye had summaries that made me sick. I could never understand why anyone who isn’t an adult would need to read books that specifically detail rape and sexual violence to the point that it is considered pornographic. 33 snowfish has a worse summary than metamorphosis or euphoria (if you know what those are, they are literal hentai, and this is a book). Apparently the biggest argument is the freedom of speech, but what does your speech have to do with who hears it? Children don’t deserve to be scarred for life because some woke people want them to learn about sex at too early of an age. When I wrote my essay I couldn’t find any information about the pros of banning books, because even the Greeks knew that an educated population was best, but I don’t see how exposing children to sexual content even counts and education. I was forced to suggest age restricting, even though some of these books should be age restricted beyond the age of students attending high school. If I could go back and add to my essay I would delve more into child protection laws against sexual exposure.

Maybe a young adult not really child-child who read other peoples anecdotes on online mental health services and how they coped and found help can instil a sense of not being alone or relation in the child, but even those have distressing warnings and are almost never so explicit as the books that parents are complaining about for good reason, i know a lot of stories of this happening to children and i agree that it is yes unfortunately common and just thinking about those child having to experience it again because some lunatic thought that it would most likely help in the majority of cases makes me cringe. What you said still does not put these disgusting books that can ruin a child's youth and innocence, at a time where they should be reading maybe adventure books, about friendships, resilience and excitements by renowned authors or hidden gems, that will teach them real life morals and beautiful escapes, in a greater light.

Not defending him but its semi autobiographical so he might be recalling actual memories but still its like why do they need to be shared with other adults.

[@salamander4173]

@@eliminator173 better yet, why do the schools felt the need to share it with literal CHILDREN?!

​@@eliminator173 yeah the only adults who would read this is pedos,even if it was autobiographical he's still opening up kids to the same abuse he suffered.

I have two babies now, and they still have a couple years until they even start school. But every time I look at one of these videos I think homeschooling is the way we're heading. Thank you for showcasing these debates.

[@monicakiele8713]

Don't stress too much about homeschooling when they're still small. It will come together in just a few years. You can do it! It is hard, but we can show our kids that we can do hard things daily.

[@FoxLosst]

I'm not a parent, but my advice would be to just make sure they go to a decent school because colleges really do not like homeschooling, so even though you're acting in their best interests, you could limit their options in the future

The real ass kicker is that for years and years school administrators and teachers have complained that one of the problems with students is no parental participation or involvement. Now that they (parents) are, the administrators want to shut them up !

@@theLoneWarriorofAllah78611O the book itself is old news. It's been around and in some school libraries for a while now. It's always been a controversy, but a) people are more aware of and highlighting this stuff now, b) parents are checking out what's in public school libraries more now, before they just left it alone, c) there's an issue of conflating taught in curriculum, available in libraries without restriction, and banning of books so it muddies the whole conversation.

@@thomaswalmsley8959 Well said. While I don't agree with "banning books" outright, I do believe that there is a time and place for certain books, & certain pornographic content, in books that are presented TO CHILDREN. Especially if they can access it at any time, unsupervised, not presented as a question-and-answer, nor as part of a sex ed. series in a high school, at the VERY LEAST! It DEFINITELY does not belong in any elementary/primary school, PERIOD. There's zero reason for any VERY highly sexualized books of this sort - it isn't even LITERATURE, or any example of "great writing," - it's just a gross book, & there are PLENTY of other GOOD books, that have so much better stories & are SO much more enriching to a child's life/brain, than this kind of SEXUALIZED TRASH BOOK. For real though, WHY are they FIGHTING to KEEP THIS BOOK in tiny children's schools?? It's gross. It's not a "banned book" - it's just not allowed for tiny children to access in (only SOME) PUBLICLY TAXPAYER-FUNDED schools. They DO like to muddy the water though, yes. They've convinced a WHOLE generation that there's more than 2 genders!!! We have ADULTS pushing sex onto children in OUR schools! All while pushing the parents OUT of the schools! What is the payoff of sending OUR kids to these schools ANYMORE? If you "teachers" are just going to SEXUALIZE THEM, GROOM THEM, and teach them CRAZY NONSENSE that is NOT REAL? They're running out of reasons...

[@thomaswalmsley8959]

@@samanthak1449 I don't necessarily have a problem with things being accessible to children (there's an argument to be made for elementary but beyond that it should be accessible, which is where most these cases to my knowledge originate high school or middle school). Books aren't restricted if they are available in a library. It's either they're available or not. This is also setting aside pretty much all these publications are available in your public library even if not in a public schools library, so kids can get access to it either way. And all thats setting aside the reality that kids aren't getting sexually explicit material from books they're getting it from online sources (porn hub for the boys, literotica for the girls typically, or deviant art). A majority of kids aren't reading these things because they don't read at all (which before anyone says anything isn't new, most people don't read). While there's question that should arise about why people want to die on particular hills about publications, we also have processes for this. This is why we have school boards and PTA organization, the fact is most parents aren't engaged in these bodies. Which is fine in a vacuum but then obviously you wishes won't be expressed in the process. Plus there's a question of, we disbarr certain publications because only a small minority of people have objections. I would say in most cases it's just best to have the parents have some basic idea of what content thier child is engaged with. They don't have to know everything piece of media but just a baseline of what topics thier children seem into.

How is this x-rated material appropriate in a school library? Spoiler alert: It absolutely is not appropriate for school libraries. We have lost our minds!

[@victorcates9330]

If the aim of education is to form an adult, there's a rationale to allow older teens to deal with adultier themes. Even so, I have to agree. People argue that childhood as protected is a modern invention. It's a modern invention because in the victorian era, norms allowed for rampant abuse in different terms (for instance, in factories) and increased risks (trafficking). It's weird that protection is somehow conservative (given the past), and that it's progressive to expect people to swim in waters that they may not be ready for. I just don't see how endangering children and being opaque about it is progressive.
