You believe there is no way that an adult book, that is sexually explicit, should be banned from 8 year old boys?Taking them out of libraries effectively bans them for many kids.
I would prefer they send out a list of books in their library that they find objectionable, and then let the parents decide when their children read.
And sex is bad, huh?
Ignore the parents? I raised 4 kids. I knew what they were reading.
Is Mein Kampf stilled banned in Germany? Maybe people should read it.
You got a source for that wild claim?It is, but Germany isn't the US.
I meant the other claim.
Pornography has no place in school librariesTaking them out of libraries effectively bans them for many kids.

Then it's not a ban.
You really like running kids lives instead of thier parents, don't you?

It is a ban in those counties. The books are banned from the library.
And do actually read what I post. I have said several times that the parents should be the ones controlling what they children read.
You never addressed the fact children's parents are not with them in a school library.It is a ban in those counties. The books are banned from the library.

Are you really this ignorant? That's whats banned in school libraries.
Are the teachers going to enforce those rules? I don't think they will.I addressed the fact that there can be age restrictions on books.
Books inappropriate for minor children are not allowed in the school library....that's the deal. If you handed those books to kids on a street corner you would either get your ass beat or get arrested or both.Is it? And with this precedent, will it always be based solely on sexuality?
So what? You cannot point to one damn book in our land which is “banned” in any meaningful way. And there is thus no book you are forbidden from reading.What drives people to silence others, and quash the free exchange of ideas?
“When I read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time,” LeVar Burton says, “I couldn’t imagine that situation in my reality. It was a shame, right? Wow. Those poor people in that misguided society. I live in that society now. That dystopian story has become my truth.”
LeVar Burton Wants You to Read Banned Books
Florida, the leading state, banned over 500 books. Florida’s governor is a huge proponent of that. This is massively concerning to the majority of Americans who do not support book bans.
Burton compares the banning of books to attempts to control women's bodies:
"This is part of a movement that we are battling for control over our minds and our bodies."
While liberals have been justifiably criticized for their efforts to alter classic works of fiction, conservatives seem to be pursuing a deeper and more pervasive effort to deny access to books they deem unacceptable.
But these same conservatives are the first to decry what they correctly describe as the war on conservative speech online, and the so-called "cancellation" of those who may have engaged in unpopular/unfashionable expression.
Why this disconnect?
Will the Constitution prevail, or are we on a steep slide into cultural darkness?
