So you're looking for a way to discount my views in order to justify having sexually explicit material in school libraries or teaching that whites are as a race inherently racist.

OK

If those books are in the library who is forcing the kids to read them?

So again, you're defending the right of schools to purchase with taxpayer dollars sexually explicit material and make it freely available to children and raging hormone teenagers. It's the kids fault apparently if they read it and not the school's problem.

Ok.

OK

Not at all.

I will not justify either.

Maybe my response to their current existence in a public school system might be different but definitely not meant justifying, support or protest them.

 

[Integrity]

Uh-huh. I brought it up to another person and you inserted yourself because you could sense there was a disturbance in the liberal force that must be defended.

No.

Ok.

I think it’s actually the parents fault.

OK Sparky. I've dealt with enough trolling today. Have a wonderful day.

God killed lots of innocent people. That's evil.

If he killed them, they weren’t innocent. That’s called being a just god

You can't be serious.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Ok.

Ok.

Do you know who specifically decides books for school library shelves?

I am not defending any material for school library shelves or not.

What I will say is, if what you say is true then a concerned parent should IMO instruct their child not to read any book from a school library until the parent has fully reviewed and approved the book for the child to read.

So, if for example, a Hustler magazine found its way onto an elementary school library shelf, it should remain there, and parents should accept that?

If so, you are completely clueless.

Please show me anywhere in my posts that I am saying or implying something so absurd.

You essentially argued that it's on the parents, not the school, if their child looked at sexually explicit material at the school with the parents not present.

Such as this.

That is not true.

If you want to accurately portray my viewpoints, which IMO you probably don’t, then please provide the context.

What do I think is the parent’s fault?

There seems to exist much confusion regarding the appropriate content of publications sitting in school libraries. Seems many of you feel that if it accessible on the internet, it should be found in those libraries. Your values should support the enhancement of society, not its detriment. And if you’re unable to differentiate, you should exclude yourself from the conversation.

I don’t see it that way.

Didn’t see that point in this discussion.

Your values should support the enhancement of society, not its detriment.

I don’t think this is a universal goal for all.

And if you’re unable to differentiate, you should exclude yourself from the conversation.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Everyone can go back up and read the thread. You said the kids reading such material in a school library was the parents responsibility. You didn't say the material shouldn't be in the library. You didn't say the librarians should be responsible for keeping such material out of the library. You said if the kids are reading it it's the parents who are at fault.

Yes they can.

Not exactly, context my friend.

You didn't say the material shouldn't be in the library.

I didn’t say the material should be in the library either.

You didn't say the librarians should be responsible for keeping such material out of the library.

I asked who specifically is responsible for deciding which books should be in a public school library. You didn’t have a clear answer. I assume you don’t know either.

You said if the kids are reading it it's the parents who are at fault.

If the parents know that books not meeting their standards or values are in the public school library and they don’t instruct their children to not read anything out of the school library without it first being approved by themselves then yes IMO the parents have no one to blame but themselves, therefore in these circumstances IMI they are at fault .
