"MOMMY, I THINK I AM A CONSERVATIVE!" WHAT!!!

I am having a civilized conversation with a "progressive" Democrat. And they are explaining to me how parents being upset about what any reasonable person IMO anyway would consider to be raw graphic pornography being in their minor child's school library. In the form of books which were specifically written for them, the parents should not be that concerned.

"Progressive Democrat: "I am not certain that having a book available in the library qualifies as young people being "targeted"".

"Young people do absorb all kinds of material. It's an exciting period of life, one where they begin to figure out who they are as human beings. They also learn how to understand and interpret all sorts of influence, from media, including literature, from their friends, family, etc.

There's nothing wrong with that. I hope a parent would try to help guide their kids through this period of time and answer questions and help them become critical thinkers, not shield them from everything they don't want their kids to think about or be."

Keeping in mind they do not have children nor do I.

Shouldn't parents of minor children in public grade school have a say about what is being taught and poured into their minor child's mind in the public school that they pay for? The "progressive" Democrat says, no, not really. Nothing to see here.

As an example, upset parents: https://youtu.be/KxS_T9NpdUU?si=VVS-fOd6Re0hNVLf 2 min.

And here is a good one: https://youtu.be/9l5MAyRdnlY?si=v33rCka37q2BsGI3 1min.

Then I added this component into the equation. Still waiting for a response.

"If you had a minor child and these books depicting one mans interpretation of American history written specifically for children were in your minor child's school library and the books were read by those children and discussed in class, should they be banned?"

Limbaugh's 5-book RUSH REVERE series - Rush Revere and the . . . Brave Pilgrims / First Patriots / Star-Spangled Banner / American Revolution / Presidency: Rush Limbaugh: Amazon.com: Books

You send your minor child to school and you are a "progressive" more Liberal even Leftist Democrat oriented in your politics and your child after being exposed to such material at dinner announces one evening: "Mommy, who was Rush Limbaugh, I think I am a Conservative!"

Should those books be removed from your minor child's school library because you interpret these books as indoctrinating your "Liberal" / "progressive" child into a belief system that is counter to your / their parents belief system?

We all understand what is actually going on within the public school system, now don't we? Let children figure out who and what they are and learn mutual respect for others and their differences and choices, that is my general philosophy of life. And I find that reasonable. But that is not what is going on.

An interesting question related to what should and should not be allowed in your minor child's public school library, no? When did parents lose their Rights regarding their children and what they were taught in the public school system over and above the basics? Depends on your politics?

What is pornography? What is indoctrination?
