Keep it civil please, I know showing little kids pictures of blowjobs is sacred to lemmy.
Oh my goodness, we can’t trust parents to be interested in the books their kids are reading. They might learn something their parents don’t want them to know! If we hide all the books that talk about sex, teens will stop having sex. If we hide the books that discuss gender identity, kids will start conforming to traditional and religious ideals! If we hide the books that make us uncomfortable, kids will never have any conflict at all.
That’s how stupid you sound.
Except these kids arent teens. Theyre in elementary school.
Do you have a source to support that claim? Because that sounds like bullshit.
Something tells me you haven’t been to an elementary school library in a while, and probably for good reason.
You referring to the fact that conservatives, especially religious ones, are statistically much more likely to not be allowed anywhere near schools?
Deuteronomy 22:29
the man who raped her is to give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels, and she will become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
And this is ok??? 🤬
Its not? Why bring up the bible?
All Boys aren’t Blue was describing an abuse scene.
So? We don’t need to traumatize 6 year olds.
It’s an upper high school level book. It would not be in an elementary school or the youth area of a public library. On top of that, parents should be monitoring their children like I do mine.
No safe space on Lemmy for your typical sad ignorance.
Uh huh. On a related note, are conservatives supportive of banning the Bible in schools for the same reason?
Or are y’all just buying into the hyperpartisan Republican rage machine because words make you feel gross?
Be honest, now.
Seperation of church and state, it should be, or at least the public schools.
What it should be and what republican politicians are arguing for are two different things, though.
Hilarious how all the responses are insults or whattaboutism
Honestly, the amount of “What about the bible?” I see whenever the book bans come up is just a meme at this point.
For real lmao
