Comment on GOP Mayoral Candidate Says She Won't 'Discriminate' Against White Supremacists

  For example, the gender queer author wants to show blowjobs to little kids.

  Honestly, I don’t get why its an issue in the first place. Libraries don’t have every book ever written, so why make not having a particular book an issue? Especially when it has a picture of a blowjob in it. We don’t libraries with playboys, do we?

      She wrote gender queer. This article has a bunch of pictures from it, including the blowjob and sex scene.

      My question is why do lefties want this book specifically in schools?

        I’m a lefty and this is the first time I ever even heard of that book. By that description, I find it hard to believe there’s any movement to get that specific book in schools.

        For middle school it’s a bit much, but for high school I don’t see a problem. I’m guessing like 50% of students will have experimented with self-pleasure by freshman year and at least 25% will have had some kind of sexual activity with another person. These pictures are not very sexy nor are they meant to be. When I was in high school (before smartphones were everywhere) I still had easy access to porn. The big problem is that porn is a terrible resource for learning about sexuality AND it’s way easier to find than someone’s honest account of their own sexual journey. Porn has no educational value, but I believe this does. If there’s at least one book in the library depicting bloody violence and gore then I can’t see a good reason to ban a book with a single-frame, 2D drawing of a penis in someone’s mouth.

        Unclutch your pearls already.
