      @Justin-op8us 2 месяца назад

      It's not pornography by definition. Graphic imagery and text by themselves aren't pornographic, and the context of the book is crucial. You don't get to unilaterally decide that something is pornography just because you personally find it offensive in your bizarre, puritanical little bubble.

      ​@Justin-op8us Its directly addressing sexual activity involving minors. Sorry, but that's pornography, and an extremely perverse version of it at that. There is no way to justify this kind of material being allowed in schools. End of discussion. Whatever happened to protecting the innocence of children? It's not puritanical to want to keep children from looking at explicit sexual material. That's basic decency.

    Simply disheartening how the person speaking on behalf of keeping the books turned a matter that was concerning the pronographic nature and simply graphically explicit nature of these books, into a matter about gender and identity; putting two and two together, if this is what these agendas are about, why would we want any part in them?
    May God's light shine, reveal, give wisdom and tear veils, as well as hide and protect those who are vunerable and weak, specifically the children, and grant mercy and forgiveness to those involved, by the blood of His precious Son Jesus; as He has freed and given me hope, may they also recieve, in Jesus' name, amen.

They probbly came through a procurement process where book sales companies send an allotment to schools, sight unseen. Perhaps to get rid of unprofitable books. No one reviewed the books coming in as the procurement contracts just continue from year to year. In a regular public library the librarian may oder books according to popularity, necessity of content, and they can avoid unneccesary books.
