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?

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...
