> You didn’t answer my question why can’t adults pick and choose what material is appropriate for their children only? Because it is impossible on a practical level to do so with a public school system and a constant low-intensity campaign to infiltrate schools with pornographic garbage. How many hundreds of hours of spare time per year would a parent need to expend to discover the 3 books they don't personally want their child to be exposed to? For that matter, would their wishes even be respected? Or would we have school employees letting them read it on the sly, as some bizarrely-conceived revolution against the oppressors? There's more than enough evidence of schools taking the opportunity to hide disturbing developments about children from their own parents.
