Thats true. But this shit isn't, not for a school library. Furthermore, schools can only hold so many books, many books are appropriate that cover the same subjects, so why this book?
Also link to whats actually in gender queer. NSFW. https://theiowastandard.com/shocking-images-from-book-gender-queer-which-is-stocked-in-school-libraries-across-iowa/
Why not that book?
Sounds like you just hate queer people.
You'll forgive me if i don't trust a site that editorializes the content as "shocking".
The images are straight from the book. Regardless of the site, its pretty damning evidence.
And if you really want your kids to read it, you can buy it.
Again, forgive me if I don't trust a site that editorializes as it does in the link title. They clearly have a pre-established issue with the book they're looking to justify and I believe that issue to be a fundamental aversion to queer existence.
If you don't want your kid reading it, you can talk to them.
I won't be ceding any ground to a position which has tried to block even the sale of the book.
It's queer hatred and none of the arguing is in good faith.
It's not damning at all, though
Like, I can maybe get behind the blowjob drawing being a little overbiard if it wasn't so crude and basic. Most of the other images linked are just a gay couple holding hands or the word VAGINA, or other completely normal things
Sex and puberty happen to young ass kids, stop pretending like it doesn't and that they should be in the fucking dark about what's happening to them
