I&#x27;m fine with the idea that some books aren&#x27;t appropriate to be read by younger people, but a lot of those bans seem to be about wanting children to not be <i>intellectually aware</i> of anything not sanctioned by the board of censors (Really? Banning a book about that gay couple of penguins at New York&#x27;s Zoo?).<p>Every book removed&#x2F;withheld should be replaced by a volume explaining <i>why</i> it was withheld, in terms a child can understand. Some of these bans wouldn&#x27;t have happened because even children could&#x27;ve seen how full of shit some adults are.

I&#x27;m not sure of the details for this set of &quot;banned&quot; books, but I recall the previous &quot;scandal&quot;. It ends up that school libraries have limited space, so some books were removed in favor of others. The media claimed that the removed books were banned even though kids were allowed to read their copy, bring their copy with them to school and even write a book report on them. So I would take this article with a grain of salt.

Sex is all religious fundamentalists can wrap their heads around, because their small, rigid, hetero-normative worldview cannot condone or understand the spectrum of unique beauty that is gender identity.<p>The structure and forms of communication kids have at their fingertips these days provides plenty of ways to explore these topics, unfortunately mixed in with low quality or possibly dangerous content.<p>I think those who push back hard against these topics are accelerating a counter-reaction, and I&#x27;m here for it. This is a weird thing to obsess against.

One person&#x27;s argument sounds right, until another comes to cross-examine.<p>This article is one-sided and goes to great lengths to hide the reason those books were banned in schools.

Parents are free to buy used books or borrow books for their kids in the local library. My school growing up didn&#x27;t even have a library, so most of my reading came from used books. Schools do well in steering cleer of controversial topics, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s their job to preach politics or religion.
