no, it’s not. when (if) you have children one day you will recognize why its not a good thing to let activist teachers confuse your kids.

its not activists within the school requesting that, it’s parents of kids.

Oh sorry, he’s deepthroating a strapon that looks like a dick, instead of deepthroating a dick itself. Funny you really think that distinction matters. These are fucking children, stop trying to force feed books with gratuitous sexual content to kids. All you’re doing is trying to minimize it, which I expected.

Nobody is putting this book in elementary schools.

If I could prove to you that this book was present at Elementary schools, what would you say?

It’s not banning them, just removing them from the Children’s section. Children’s media has always be moderated

What about someone who doesn’t think that transgender women are women? Should they be rejected by society for holding that view?

I’m ok with removing sexually explicit books from children’s sections yes. Especially ones that show gratuitous sexual activity, such as the book Gender Queer https://data.ibtimes.sg/en/full/52824/gender-queer.jpg?w=813

Or “This Book is Gay” which gives a step by step on how to use gay hookup apps. These are the books that people are demanding remain in front of children.

top right. its uncensored in the book just couldn’t find a pic from a quick google. interested to hear you response when being shown something that doesn’t exist apparently

You type so much and say so little. It’s impressive really.

I don’t have to prove shit to you, I’m just voicing my opinion. You are welcome to call it stupid. Keep moving. Whenever I have posted evidence of sexually explicit activity in front of children it gets downplayed and I’m called a prude. I don’t really care to reason with you to be perfectly honest. Like most things in life, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Maybe it’s skewed to one side sometimes, but it seems people are so afraid to self criticize out of fear of giving the other side ammo.

I’m saying the process of removing books from the children’s section is an appropriate policy, even if it was misapplied in this case. It’s not banning books, like many people in here seem to believe.

I’m not going to entertain your “DEFINE EXACTLY WHAT THE PHENOMENA YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT OR IT DOESNT EXIST” bullshit. There’s a lot of nuance to this topic and its hard to draw concrete lines anywhere, but I would say teachers should focus on the curriculum and not their personal life. I don’t think explicitly anti-lgbt indoctrination belongs in classrooms either. I want teachers to avoid discussions about sensitive social issues altogether, it is not their role.

Cool, but context is a thing.

But this is also about wayyyy more than the top 1% of kids, this is about everyone. You want a more capable society? That means everyone.

Hmms seems like you are implying here that it does actually bring those 1% of kids down for the betterment of the rest. I thought it wouldn’t bring kids down?

It’s a simple difference of opinions. I believe that private schools are better empowered to allocate resources to produce the best result since it bypasses government bureaucracy. That’s it. Acting like “advanced classes” is some sort of own that defeats the purpose of private schools is a cop out frankly.

You want more smart people in society? The solution is public schools to develop those smart people.

This can happen without making private schools illegal.

Activists shouldn’t bring their activism into gradeschool classrooms was my point.

Because I don’t want to give some unelected bureaucrats the ability to discommunicate someone because they said something stupid. Public goods are meant to serve the public, even if they have bad opinions.

The thread you are replying to is about banning private schools

I’m not saying the public school system indiscriminately brings people down, but for the intellectual top 1% of kids it definitely can. stop thinking in absolutes. I think it’s a good thing for smart kids to hang out with smart kids. Believe it or not, different degrees of intelligence require different needs to allow children to reach their full potential. I believe that private schools are great in making sure that potential is met. It’s up to the schools themselves to allocate funding rather than a government bureaucracy, which is notoriously inefficient and frankly always will be, especially at scale. Advocate for improving funding to public schools so private schools would be unnecessary instead of making the choice on behalf of people.

There is literally a page that shows someone deepthroating dick. Guess i’m crazy for thinking that is sexually explicit

You are generalizing. There is a genuine reason not to want non binary theythem activists teaching your young child.

I don’t think public institutions should be able to make that call. Private institutions and individuals, sure.
