Should elementary school kids be allowed to access books like this in their libraries?

You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.

I expected better of you FH, you can make your point without posting images like that here.

In that these books are offered to school children, but are found offensive by the moderator of an adult blog, perhaps the moderator would indicate which of these characteristics, pornography, hate speech, etc causes MMT to ban it, yet allow it in the library of youngsters?

SC, thanks for keeping the board clean of pornography. Why does the NEA insist on supplying it to elementary school students?

Could you explain to me how it's somehow on me that it's supposedly "allowed in the library of youngsters?" I had no idea that it was my responsibility to authorize or disallow the books in any library in any state? :huh:

Also, this is not an "adult blog" nor a porn site. it's a community website that is open and accessible to the public, including children over the age of 13. We have terms of service that are posted publicly and are required to follow in order to participate here which have been in place since day 1. All members abide by that, or their content is moderated, or they are disallowed from participating. Our rules do not apply anywhere else.
