“Exposing children to this filth is child abuse. Good for Texas.”
True, and I’m not at all sure that “it’s been really, really important to [a gay girl] that I have access to these books”.
Maybe it would depend on the book.
Today’s Captain Obvious quiz:
What does this girl have in common with the Urban Spaceman?
The answer’s at the end.

They do here in WA, where the Freemasons have a Bikes for Books program for schoolkids.
That passage sounded totally phony to me, as well. At the very least, they edited out all the “likes”, “y’knows” and “totallys.”
She can always go to the actual library and check out all the porn she wants.
Maybe the libtard school boards should have thought that this might happen when they banned “Huckleberry Finn”?
Make homosexuality a crime again!
Once again I find I’m glad I don’t have any kids.
“As I’ve struggled with my own identity as a queer person, it’s been really, really important to me that I have access to these books,” said the girl, whom NBC News is not naming to avoid revealing her sexuality. “And I’m sure it’s really important to other queer kids. You should be able to see yourself reflected on the page.”

1. There is no such thing as “a homosexual”, there is only rebellion. Why would books which lie to you be allowed?
2. Why would they be featured in school libraries except to recruit juveniles?
3. Why would ANY book about sexuality be allowed in schools? Schools have the purpose of teaching readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic’.
If your parents want to teach you that it’s okay to be gay then they should look elsewhere.
P.S. Tell us who would do that to children.
There are lots of reading programs here in WA but it is rare to see a kid reading a book, except where it is specifically required as a school assignment. Phones have totally taken over in the last five years, just like they have with me.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Does this quote actually sound like it came from a teenager?
Sadly yes, although as Albion Wilde pointed out the "like"s and "you know"s have likely been edited out.
That is good news. Schools shouldn’t be grooming children.
The forbidden fruit is always sweeter, though. After some school boards banned “Maus”, a graphic novel about the Holocaust, because it contained swear words and a naked female mouse, it is now #2 on Amazon’s Best Sellers while the “Complete Maus” is #3. If there’s one way to guarantee a teenager will read a book, it is to ban it.
Why are leftists enthralled with 19th century technology like libraries and trains?
It sounds like the district library is just removing books with sexual content that they have deemed age inappropriate, whether heterosexual or homosexual-it is up to parents to decide what is appropriate sexual content for their kids to see/read-not the school librarian(s)-and that is going to vary from parent to parent-and that is not the school’s business, either-they do not have the right to encourage sexualization of someone’s kid...
When I was in middle school and HS, there were couple of romance-y novels in the library that had sexual content, “Winter Wheat” was one but it was not graphic and didn’t include any of the 4 letter terms-I did read novels that did-but they were obtained from the regular library, older cousins-or in secret from my mom’s nightstand-but not from the school library-and of course there were those true confession type magazines available at the drug and grocery store. It was still like that when my cub was a young teen-in the 80’s-I think it was a better way-let each kid’s parents monitor and decide...
naked mouse... it’s a small frame pictured in a GAS CHAMBER!!!
now i read this years ago, and i think the story line is a little much for “children”, more so because it’s true
so i found it again, judge for yourself as to why you think it’s appropriate or not

Well said.
Ha! In the early 1950s, we read National Geographic.
