Sen Kennedy grills activist on graphic books in school libraries:

[Geoist]

Parents are not in the school library to monitor what their own kids consume.

So? Kids tend to bring library books home to read.

Is that the one you read from the school library?

Yes.

Yes.

Was it Tommyknockers?

Only interested because I thought you were older than that. More near my age.

I read Tommyknockers in 2004 when I was a senior in high school.

No, it’s not

Of course it is. Unless you want "art" limited to dogs playing poker.

Based on the passage read, All Boys Aren’t Blue should not be in public school libraries, period.

It's not....they want you to think it is...but it isn't.

 

[ClaraD]

Why not? I first read a Stephen King novel in high school.

Me too....I read IT....scared the crap out of me...saw the movie scared me more shitless...I was terrified of of sewer drains for awhile after that and I was a teen.

The Book isn't really porn either....it does have a graphic page in it...but the entire book isn't graphic. The book is about what consent is, etc...and is only recommended for 14 and older.....not for elementary school kids and they are not in primary schools...If you think that teens do not have sex or know what it is...you are out of touch.

Does the book include illustrations ? Lol

The book does seem to be graphic, depending on the age of the reader.

You answered my 2 questions.

Thanks

Has anyone here actually read "All Boys Aren't Blue"?

Has anyone actually read a critical review that goes beyond the instances of details of gay sex?

Just curious. I mean, if you are offering your opinions on something you know nothing about.....

 

[Jason Warfield]

Ok...if a parent is allowed to tell another parent what their kid can and cannot read...then I feel that even though I don't have children, I should also be allowed to tell parents what their children can and cannot read...to protect the children.

I would ban the Bible for graphic, sexual content: Genesis 19:33-36 (father daughter, willing incest), Samuel 18:25-27 (brother sister incest and rape), Judges 19:22-29 (homosexuality, offering virgin daughter in stead of the man, allowed the man's concubine to be raped all night, murder of the concubine).

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Why are liberals and progressives publishing their sex lives in the form of child smut and insisting that children read it? It takes a really depraved mind to write child pornography and demand that school libraries stock it.

Because leftist filth are pedophiles. It also explains why leftists so strongly support the child trafficking business known as Disney. These are some very sick and twisted individuals.
