Twist it all you'd like. It's a ridiculous question. The whole notion of this type of discussion is ludicrous to me. The innocence of little children is just exactly that..... innocence.
Some of these discussions are going on in Crook County Oregon. https://ktvz.com/news/crook-county/...ove-them-from-childrens-area-to-special-spot/
I agree with the high school student's response in the article twobullz posted. “I’m here to oppose any books that sexualize kids,” who don’t have the maturity to deal with such subjects. “I personally have been harmed by such books in school."
The thing is this article is about the public library not a school library. The people who are trying to ban or move the books are trying to make it look like these books are in a school library and in children sections of the public library when in fact the books are they are complaining about are in the adult section of the library
NO ONE is harmed by books. There is nothing in those children's books that sexualizes children. Innocent does not equal ignorant. It is not evil for children to learn about their bodies. For FUCKS SAKE you don't think I have been around long enough to know EVIL HOMOSEXUALS RECRUIT CHILDREN!!!!!!!!! when I see it?
You agree with it in the sense that you were harmed by books yourself, or you agree with it because you know 'the high school student' and can attest to his claim of harm? I'm not finding either possibility very plausible. Unless maybe you were walking down the street once and someone threw a book out of a high window and it fell on you? barfo
OK, I guess there is ONE way a book can harm someone. But as a person who has literally read thousands, the worst any book ever did was bore me.
.......which then begs the question, why even market this book(s) to three-year-olds?! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...nocence-book-teaches-girls-change-gender.html
So should we just ban all books for kids then? Or is it just the icky people being mentioned that bothers you? Most books will mention if someone is a boy, or a girl. That's ok, but if they're trans, it isn't ok?
Who said it was specifically "marketed" for 3 year olds?...and where would 3 years olds get the money to buy said book ?
^^^ I also posed that question a little earlier...no answer. "I wonder how many 3 year olds can actually read, and how advanced their vocabulary might be, not to mention cognitive thinking ?"
Kids who are hidden by paranoid parents from society and diversity more often than not end up joining the Manson Family as soon as they can get away from mom and dad...kid's who grew up next to the Manson family probably grew up knowing better than to trust those folks. Kids are so much smarter and adaptable than conservative, overly sheltered paranoid Karen's and MAGAtards are. For the umpteenth time....lock this stupid homophobic gender phobic thread. It's just turned into a punching bag at this point.
