I get why the discussion is a lot about the books for children and not teens, because those bans in public library seems ridiculous.
But i have an issue with banning the books for teens. I admit i did not read a lot of those in TFA (two, maybe three, i'll have to look at the title translation), but at least i read some, and can compare to a lot of books i read when I was a teen. The comparison makes it even more ridiculous to me.
I have the distinct impression than those moms advocating for the ban just didn't read a lot of books, to be perfectly honest. It's not a dig, i have friends who don't read, and when i first met my now best friend, he had only read a single book in his life, at 15. But if they did, they would know that exposure from books is a lot more soft than from any picture, video, sound or real life. And sometimes, it leads to "wow, that's what he meant" epiphanies, which are the best.
