Karen in FL files criminal charges because school library didn't censor a LGBTQ book.

@raphjd No, you're the one that started talking about elementary schools. If you go back and read the original news article, it was talking about a Karen filing suit because the book was located in a high school. This elementary school tangent is yours and yours alone.
My point in the above quotes is that content related to sex does not make a book pornographic. It might make it inappropriate for elementary school children, but not pornographic. The material is perfectly appropriate in high schools, but its homophobic, conservative, religious Karens trying to get it removed even from locations where it is age-appropriate.

@raphjd The full "context" is that there is a push within the United States to relax the procedures for removing books from school libraries to make it easier for conservative, homophobic organizations to remove LGBT literature from those libraries. It is a coordinated effort with similar bills being pushed or already passed in several states at once.
The point of the efforts is to keep LGBT issues and representations from being normalized. It is culture warfare aiming at gay erasure.
I know in your personal hierarchy of identity politics, you rank your conservativism above your LGBT identity, so you might be okay with throwing yourself under the bus. But most of the rest of us LGBT people do not like being erased from culture.

Why do you have to defend putting a graphically detailed teen porn book in an elementary school? There are plenty of non-porn books you can defend.
I believe I explicitly agreed with you that the book in question shouldn't have been in an elementary school library.
I also pointed out to you, and I will point out AGAIN, that the original post involved the book in a HIGH SCHOOL library.
If you cannot constrain your discussion to the topic as posted, then I believe you need to temporarily ban yourself from the forum. I'm pretty sure that making posts unrelated to the OP is a violation of the rules for the Gay News forum.
Reference elementary schools again and it will only be proof that you cannot defend on the issue regarding high schools. I will mark it down as you admitting loss and I will move on to other activities.
