I didn’t realize how many Lemmings are really passionate about letting kids read erotica. It’s kinda creepy.
Getting downvoted to hell for saying “hey, maybe a school library for kids is not the place for sexually explicit material. Maybe parents should make that decision”.
I felt my original post was reasonable. Topics of educational importance should not be restricted. But books that are primarily adult in nature and serve no educational purpose should be restricted.
To better illustrate the difference, a book about gender and queer studies should NOT be restricted, because it’s education, even if the topic is frequently sexual in nature… however a pornographic yaoi manga isn’t exactly high lit and probably doesn’t serve some educational purpose… so probably shouldn’t be accessible to kids without explicit parental consent and knowledge.

You’re currently 13/16 on that top post, so some people are presumably siding with you.
I’m just somewhat amused at how crazy the subsequent thread got.
