You need to define "we"...because that is part of the point. We as parents should be setting our kids up to deal with adult issues...schools should stick to learning the basics and not necessarily expanding the minds of middle schoolers with graphic books.
- IX-103 5y agoAnd what of those kids whose parents do not prepare them? Are they to be left behind? I view the responsibility of schools to provide at least the minimum needed for graduates to be contributing members of society. That means they need diverse perspectives of our society and history. Sometimes graphic or hyperbolic language may be necessary to force students to truly consider such perspectives, so I don't see such language in and of itself as a reason to ban something. Though such works should probably only be read with age-appropriate support.
