I also don’t have kids, so I don’t really have a dog in this fight.
not really how it works.
you may never be going to school again, but it is still in your best interest to have good schools funded. they generate engineers that will invent new things you use and doctors who will one day take care of your heart attack.
and it is in your best interest not to be surrounded by idiots, to which reading books is part of the process.
I probably wouldn’t want a child reading them until they were old enough
Aren’t that the republicans who spout nonsense like “i ain’t co-parenting with the government”?
So maybe leave what books to read and when up to specific schools/parents/kids.
I mean. That’s what I was saying? I’m not in favor of book bans, I’m in favor of parents being aware of the content their kids are consuming. If you as a parent want your kids to read ACOTAR, then that’s your call. I’m not in favor of book bans or the government telling you what you can or can’t read. Not sure where all this hostility is coming from.
first, you presented the fact you don’t have kids, as if it somehow made you impartial in the discussion - i explained that is really not the case.
then you said “i am not for banning books, however…” and then you spent 3 paragraphs explaining why you consider these books really problematic for kids.
and as the aphorism says, anything before “but” does not really count 🤷♂️
