The last thing young kids should be thinking about is whether they are gay or not. They should be thinking about math and spelling and grammar and science etc.Only one book that I know of they attempted to ban in a school district near me and it was an absolute shit show. Gender Queer I think it was called. I can’t say I’ve read it, but what I’ve seen people complain about are things that I think could be beneficial for those seeking it out.
Back to the original point in all this; if it was part of the curriculum. If kids were told to read it to pass, I could understand some outrage.
For it simply being a resource for those looking for it, I think it is very beneficial. Teachers aren’t handing it out for homework.
There are a lot of students who are gay, think they might be gay, have gay parents or family members etc, you get where I’m going, and given some of the responses in this very thread, it’s easy to see why they may be uncomfortable talking about it with people, possibly their own parents.
I can’t imagine any scenario where anyone would want their kid learning about something like this on the internet instead of a published and screened book.
Not everyone has to like it, but that doesn’t mean it should be available to others that might benefit from it
Any sexual stuff should be taught at home, not by government schools
