    It seems to me what is a childrens book is whatever the author says is a childrens book, but even if we set that aside...Is it an appropriate adult book for a library in your world?

    In my world it is not. The community has every right to decide what they do and do not want in their public library.

    Wow.

    You and I see the world entirely differently. There is no scenario where a book that is a love story about a 50 year old man having a sexual relationship with a 6 year old boy should be in any public library.

    I bet your position represents a TINY minority of the populace, but I thank you for being honest...I guess.

    In truth, I find it a little disconcerting. Sincerely, I would never hire someone with that belief to babysit children. Maybe that is an overreaction, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

    Way back in the VHS era every video rental place had a room for x-rated videos, the door was locked and you had to show ID to get in. Same thing.

    ...and you think that the public Library is the same thing as the backroom behind the curtain in a seedy VHS video rental store?

    Wow. Just Wow. If you do not understand the difference, there is nothing I am going to say to make you see the light.

    Once again, I am comfortable in the belief that your position is held by only a TINY minority of the populace. We can all at least hope so. Im not even sure the book I described would even be legal in a movie form, but why would a community want to provide such vile disgusting filth for their residents? Who would even read that? You seem to think it must be made available to a community's residents because of this books mere existence. I find your position to be positively bizarre. Almost nobody wants books about pedophilic love made available at their local library. That desire is twisted and downright hard to rationalize why you are making this argument.

    Who would have ever believed our culture would come to this? People used to be opposed to book banning because it never would have occurred to anyone that we would live to see a time that some people would be writing books geared to children that are literally pornography! And that this would have the support of a great many teachers, as well as some parents! Or that it would become ok to be a pedophile and even announce it in public? Maybe this culture rot is what will be the end of us.

    Entirely off topic, but no, Blockbuster famously did not have a backroom with x rated videos. nor did they ever have any x-rated pedophilic videos in their collection. The seedy back rooms only existed in small mom-and-pop VHS
    stores.

    Yeesh.

    So Fifty Shades of Grey should be made available in the children's section of the library and a 10 year old child should be able to check it out and the library should be sued if they refuse to make is accessible to children.

    What utter nonsense.

    How about every film that has ever been produced?

    It is HOW that history is taught in thise revisionist books and the credibility of the narrative it presented. History is fully taught in Florida schools including slavery and why and how it existed and was bannished and the history of the civil rights movement. What wasn't being taught before CRT was Introduced?

    Therefore your posiion is Fifty Shades of Grey, a HIGHLY EROTIC novel, should be made available to any and every child.

    No you said so not me. It's a published series of erotic novels and since you clearly stated every book ever published should me made available to children in a children's library....

    Else if you don't believe that now on what basis would you censor it?

    What is the appropriate age for fart books? Whatever that may be it’s too young for a child to be at a library without supervision. I hate to break it to you but it is not the state’s responsibility.to baby sit your kids. Yes. This is about control. Once again, it’s right wingers attempting to use the state to impose their beliefs on others.

    Our education system is in the hands of some real sick folks.

    Watch: Joy Reid Argues That Books With Rape And Pedophilia Should Be In Schools
    [​IMG]
    'Claims the material has been taken “out of context"...'

    'MSNBC host Joy Reid took a break from her race obsessed ranting to advocate for books containing rape, pedophilia and incest to be made available for school kids as young as six.'

    'Reid, still sporting a ridiculous blonde wig, defended the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” which contains descriptions of incest, anal rape, and strap-on dildos, among other things. The host claimed that some passages from the book that have been read out be outraged parents at school board meeting have been taken “out of context.”'

    “In what context is a strap-on dildo acceptable for public school?” Justice asked Reid, adding “Tell me the context around the strap-on dildo or the rape of a minor child by a teacher?”

    'Reid charged that Justice is not an “expert” on the material.'

    Justice shot back, “I don’t need to be an expert to know that dildos aren’t appropriate content for public school.”

    “Maybe we could just put all the books with all the graphic sexual content, the dildos, the rape, the incest– let’s do a backroom,” Justice continued, adding “Let’s put a curtain up in the library like they used to do at video stores.”

    'Reid continued to argue in favour of the material in schools, asking “Why is it your right, or a Mom’s for Liberty activist’s right, to say that a parent who wants their child to have access to this book which gives a personal experience of this author… Why doesn’t a liberal parent, for instance or a parents of an LGBTQ kid, why don’t they have a right for their child to just have access to this book? Why is it your right to say they can’t?”'

    Leftwing parents are free to buy anal rape pornography for their six year olds off Amazon or at any bookstore. The Chyron also told the lie that keeping this crap out of schools is "book banning" when all these books are easily available by download from Amazon by any parent that wants them for their children.
