Did the article you referenced provide specific examples? Because I think we need the actual content in order for me to decide if I’m ok with it or not. I would hope you feel the same, or do you air on the opposite side? How would you feel about tilting things in the opposite direction within these children’s books? What if they mentioned gays more and were even more racy, how would you feel about that? I read a book about a boy getting sucked off by another boy when I was in 10th grade. It was just sitting on my teacher’s shelf in class and I started reading without knowing anything about it. These were high school characters. How do you feel about that? I thought nothing of it at the time but looking back on it, that was actually pretty f’d up.
What the fuck are you talking about? 10th graders, particularly 10th graders today, are well aware that sex exists. They know what penises and vaginas are buddy, so no a 10th grader reading a book with gay sex is not an issue. Would you feel the same if it was a girl sucking dick in the book? Because I bet for a lot of yall that would suddenly be ok.
Sheltering kids from sex doesn’t make them suddenly not know what sex is. Sheltering kids from LGBTQ+ shit doesn’t suddenly make them straight, either they’re fucking straight or they’re fucking LGBTQ+ and you cannot force them to be anything they aren’t. These children deserve better, they don’t deserve the constant anxiety and depression of living in a world ran by shitstains who hate them for existing and who try to force them to conform to some bullshit.

If you had actually clicked on the link and read the article before spouting your nonsense, you would have seen a list of the books in question. Since you’d obviously rather spew than read, I’ll do your work for you:
They removed about a dozen books, including “Squad,” “Blood Countess,” “The Great American Whatever,” “Beyond Clueless,” “Red Rolls of Magic,” “Infinity Son” and “Icebreaker.”
Maybe next time you’ll make an effort to actually know what you’re talking about before speaking up … though with the attitudes you’ve displayed here, I find that possibility distressingly unlikely.
I watched various movies as a kid where the joke was always the same: “oh noes a man thought the hot chick was a girl but she was really a boy with a dick and he got it up his ass ahrahr”. They were labeled as movies for the whole family. The humor was anti gay and anti trans of course, but I still got the joke. Does this mean the homophobes who wrote those jokes were pushing gay sex onto me as a child? Grow up, sex is a part of life. Kids will know regardless, imho it’d be better to learn about anal sex from something more delicate than a crass 90s movie.

I think if you’re still traumatized by that book, you should seek therapy.
I think you should seek therapy being your life consists of being a bully on Reddit. Go make me a sandwich
10th grade. So like - 15 or 16 years old? I think 15 year olds already know about blow jobs. Alot of them are doing it already.
Who cares?

I HAD to read a book where a boy got sucked off by a girl in the 10th grade. Cider House Rules.
In the 9th grade I also HAD to read a book where a guy bangs his cousin.
All you’re doing is pointing out that there is a clear double standard.
