It really says something about your worldview that you automatically assume any librarian is a groomer
How... are you able to determine that?
I ask you to look up what books are in this books unbanned project and point to the pornography. Or do you truly believe books about mental health, LGBTQ and diversity awareness are pornography?
I want to assume you're a good person so I'm going to let you know: limiting a teenager's access to books that discuss sex in a healthy way isn't corrupting them. Educators that want them to have access to this aren't groomers.
Sex/sexuality are part of human nature, and every teen is developing a sense of self that will include these aspects. If they don't have curated materials to learn from, they'll seek these out themselves--through the internet. Porn is an awful and unhealthy way to learn about this stuff.
Outrage media will try to tell you that first grade teachers are giving instructions for sex acts, and that's just demonstrably untrue.
