Here is a parent reading aloud from the book (on this list) "Let's talk about it": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cd5VUhMrF4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cd5VUhMrF4 He's reading about how, as a child, you can send sexually explicit photos to people on the internet. It seems *completely* reasonable to remove this book from libraries. Somewhat unsurprisingly, but demonstrative of exactly the type of erosion of trust I'm talking about WRT to the discourse around this topic, Batman and X-Men comics are not the focus of these types of book bans.

> Batman and X-Men comics are not the focus of these types of book bans They never are. But hey, while we're at it, can we ban the bible, too? It's quite a violent book.

  "The Children's Bible" is one of the titles on the list.

> Batman and X-Men comics are not the focus of these types of book bans. If they are on the list, they are part of the focus of the ban, whether or not they are part of what is used in the public propaganda. (That the public propaganda for these bans misrepresent the actual focus is another area of concern, of course.)

“Think of the children” is the oldest excuse in the book and is almost exclusively used to make sure your detractors/opposition look like they don’t care about children. In an age where seemingly half the GOP calls democrats “pedophiles” at the drop of a hat, this is an obvious tactic they’ll draw on.
