Because the banned books are not about 72 genders and porn.
Do you actually believe they are, or are you just repeating the right-wing outrage memes?
> They aren't supposed to care about these things and it just confuses them.
K-12 in the US means education up to and including 12th grade. That's (roughly) 17 year olds at the far end. Puberty starts quite a bit before that.
Of course, for preteens learning about sexual orientations makes sense. Quite a lot of people are queer you know, and that's not a crime at the moment (although I'm sure that is something some people in Iowa would like).
- akrandl 2y agoNo one is talking about K-12.
- voidUpdate 2y agoFrom the article: "The legislation also explicitly bans books depicting sexual acts from K-12 libraries and classrooms"
- akdj 2y agoThe flagged comment specifically talked about gender identity books for children below 12 years old, which Iowa banned. (The question why schools should allow pornographic books for anyone still remains, but is not relevant in this context.)
