    She provided direction to a public library that does not follow the book ban. She is not telling or directing her students to read porn. She is, objectively, promoting free and open access to a public library. There is no other way to characterize that.

    Also, even the most controversial books on the banned list are not “pornographic”. Containing sexual themes or imagery does not qualify something as porn. Porn exists for sexual gratification, and none of those books exist for that purpose.

    You also still have not answered my question as to whether or not you think these people actually want to rape kids, or if you are just playing word games.

      Let me make it clear.

      If you have pedophilic tendencies… not even touching a child, but providing a child ANY sexually explicit material, you are a pedophile. And I have NO mercy for pedophiles.

      If that doesn’t answer your question, that’s your problem, not mine.

        So if you assign The Catcher in the Rye, A Brave New World, or 1984 as assigned reading to high school seniors you are automatically a pedophile because they contain sexual themes?

        If you don’t see how fucking stupid that is then that’s your problem. What is sexually “explicit” is purely a matter of opinion and these definitions encompass ANYTHING that has ANY mention of human sexuality.
