Except that’s not what you said. You accused people of wanting to show porn to kids and said that those books should be banned from school libraries. Not that they should be accessible only with parental permission. That’s two different things. If you would say “I think it’s fine for those books to be in the library but there should be a special section for books that require permission from parents” most people would agree with you.
“the public decides what kids can read in school, and parents decide what kids can read at home”
Yeah, the public doesn’t decide what kids can read in school. The public decides what is mandatory reading in school, parents decide what their kids can read in their spare time or in the library. If I give my kid a book to read in the bus or during lunch time you can’t say he can’t read it just because you don’t like it. You keep proposing censorship but somehow are unable to recognize this.
Obviously I mean the public decides what books the school has for kids to read… not that you can’t give your kid a book and then they read it at school. Because that’s you, as a parent, making a decision about what your kid can read, which is what I’ve been saying. You just wanted to twist it like you’re doing now, for whatever reason. I don’t know, maybe you lack excitement in your life.

I swear you’re just being willfully pedantic…

Oh, so the books are fine and it’s everyone who opposes the ban doesn’t want to give porn to kids? Great, we finally agreed.
