Yes. I believe violent video games should be available to children, with their acquisition dependent on parental consent.
Which is literally how it works.
If some parents don't want their children reading certain books, those parents can limit their access.
At my middle school, due to religious parents, your library card could be flagged such that the librarian wouldn't let you check out books on specific topics.
Behold. The books were available to all, but could not be acquired by all.
- j_walter 5y agoThat's the point here...this book is available to middle schoolers without parental consent. And video games are available to children if their parents purchase them...the same as kids seeing rated R movies if accompanied by an adult. People aren't outraged by violent video games or the newest rated R movie because society has setup a consent system...that's not the case in most school libraries so the parents have no oversight.
