These are public, tax-funded schools we're talking about here. Parents who really want their 10 year old to learn about BDSM practices or breast removal surgeries can still get them those books on their own dime.

In your option was Roots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots:_The_Saga_of_an_American_Family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots:_The_Saga_of_an_American...) teaching 10 years olds about BDSM practices or breast removal surgeries? That book was banned.

- Johanx64 2y agoThe article says they banned "more than" 10000 books, and you mentioned one. Thus the rest of 9999 books could easily have many on the subject.
- autoexec 2y agoThe vast majority of those 9999 books could just as easily (and far more likely than not) contain zero mention of those two subjects entirely. No, somedude895 was just using extreme examples without evidence or context to justify the banning of more than 10,000 books as though even if one or two out of the more than 10,000 books did somehow happen to mention those topics that it would justify such ridiculous censorship.
