For example, a graphic novel called "Fun Home" depicts nudity and sex acts, and "Girl, Woman, Other" follows the journey of women of various sexual and gender identities.
"The pictures in ['Fun Home'] … are graphic and depict two women performing oral sex, images of m*st*rb*tion and drug usage. I do apologize if there are children [present]," a local named Kate Linden said. "There is a difference between teaching what sex is and teaching how to engage in it. And that's what's happening in this book."
"The person or persons responsible for bringing this book into the schools with the intention of assigning this book … needs to be under investigation," Linden said. "I just don't know what guidelines, what allowed this particular book to be put through the public K-12 schools. The sex acts in these books are clearly pornographic, and it's why it's on the list to be removed."
Oh, yeah, that totally seems appropriate for a school setting...

I do not agree with destroying those books, no matter how despicable their content is. They are not suitable for ANY English class, no matter the grade level.

Oh, well now you have convinced me... Do people really think bringing race into a conversation where it does not exist changes anything?
This is always so LOL to me, because I recall back in 6th grade when Judy Blume's "Wifey" was published and at every school book fair from that point on. We are talking about a book about a bored housewife having an extramarital affair and doing so in decently graphic detail. Every kid in probably every elementary school in America in 1978-79 knew exactly which page of that book all the naughty words were printed on. It was standard common knowledge at the time. You knew that was one of the "dirty books grown ups had no clue we had access to" same as you knew what happened on Happy Days or Charlie's Angels the night before on TV.
That's why these "zomg, teh book am the pr_0nz!!!" hysterics crack me up. Kids knowing where to find pornography is as instinctive as spiders building webs. As humans, we come out of the womb knowing how to score pron.

It is one thing when one accesses that stuff on their own accord. It is another when it is assigned in a 12th grade English class...
In order to highlight marginalized voices such as "Black and brown characters … [and the] LGBTQIA+ community, they must be presented performing oral sex, toying themselves and drug use. Ok then
I think it's really disturbing how many of these type of books are being allowed in school libraries, but especially in this case because it was an assigned book. It has no place in a school!

Whatever.
By 12th grade, I'd say the vast majority of students have consumed hundreds, probably thousands of hours of pornography, are likely sexually active and have been for years, and quite a few have probably made porn of at least smartphone photo form, if not video.

What does that have to do with academic subjects that should be the focus of public schooling?
Or do you think there should be a sex lab at school where teachers can grade their students performances?
I also think you are way off as to how many kids are having sex. Kids today are NEVER alone. Ever.
Parents work from home, track their cell phones, they have 10 scheduled activities vs unlimited free time, fewer kids are getting drivers' licenses so they need patents to drive them everywhere and don't have the 'backseat' access ....
Democrats need these young people think about sex 24/7 so they can crank out babies like baby factories. Since so few people can afford to raise children anymore, the population has been dropping like a rock when you exclude legal and illegal immigration. Falling population is a huge problem for governments, and they will do anything they can to avoid it.
In many respects, a falling population is like a vote of disapproval for the government we have. The democrats will do anything and everything to avoid it, including warping and perverting the minds of millions of young Americans. They are even trying to defy nature and biology by making it so men can give birth. Those pregnant man emojis happened for a reason...
