If a person wants to desperately peddle books with sexual content to underaged kids (that have no interest in seeking those particular books themselves), against their parents will and consent and then get very upset when parents do restrict this content in a public school library no less, then surely I'd say they follow a weird ideology. >Also, Harry Potter constantly tops lists of most-banned books in libraries. Well, then that is clearly bad. The article does clearly communicate and wear it's convictions on it's sleave about what it is concerned about, and I see no mention of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings there.

What is the harm in making a book available to check out? You keep using the word “peddle” as if librarians are promoting these so-called controversial books over others. If you actually visit a school library (I do because I have a kid in grade school), you’ll see almost always it’s the already-popular books that get into the choice spots in the front of the library. The kid who wants to read about puberty has to search the bowels of the library basement for it. I think the people who spend the most time in school libraries must be the Book Banners, desperately looking high and low for something to be outraged about. The only weird ideology youve cited so far is “human sexuality” which is neither weird nor an ideology.
