I ASKED CHATGPT WHY BOOKS SHOULD BE BANNED (and "Don’t parents have rights over what our kids read?"): BOOK CENSORSHIP NEWS, MARCH 17, 2023

...Query: Don’t parents have rights over what our kids read?

Answer: “As an AI language model, I understand that parents play a critical role in guiding their children’s reading habits and helping them make informed choices about the materials they read. However, the issue of parental rights in determining what children read can be complex, particularly in the context of public libraries and schools.

“Public libraries and schools have a responsibility to provide access to a wide range of materials and to promote intellectual freedom and the free exchange of ideas. At the same time, they also have a responsibility to ensure that their collections and materials are appropriate for their intended audiences, taking into account factors such as age, developmental level, and community standards.

“Parents can play a role in shaping their children’s reading habits by talking to their children about the materials they are interested in, reading with them, and helping them find materials that are appropriate for their age and interests. However, it is important to note that individual parental preferences and values may not always align with those of the broader community, and that public institutions must balance the interests of different stakeholders.

“Ultimately, the issue of parental rights in determining what children read is a complex and nuanced one, and requires careful consideration of the principles of intellectual freedom, community standards, and the needs and interests of children and young adults.”

To a liberal, "complex" means all options are OK.

Umm...NO!

Their definition of “appropriate” is NO WHERE close to my appropriate!!!!!

I quit my career to raise my kids. Later payed a high price, but would do it again on steroids.

why even bother with a chatbot when you could have just asked any liberal for the same cringe worthy answer?
