Preserving more "freedoms." RE: Oklahoma bill gives parents the right to have a book removed from a school library - HarleyDog - 01-05-2022 Why is it such a big deal if parents want to control material that is exposed to their kids in school? The parents do fund the school through their taxes so they should have a say so. Plus, it's their children attending. A person should be able to figure out their sexual attraction on their own without outside influence. They get enough pressure from their peers, school teachers, television and news sources trying to pollute their minds with personal opinions and agenda's. I am not at all about banning books. But, as a parent, I wouldn't want my child to have access to books I disapprove.

If ONE parent doesn't like a book it goes no matter if every other parents doesn't care if their child can see it. Wait until someone wants the bible banned.

The article already said schools don't have the bible on the shelf. Edit: that would be most schools, but I could probably walk into the school libraries of two local high schools and it would be there.

Of course not. All that murder, rape, adultery, thievery, wanton destruction, etc. We should not allow our children to be exposed to such filth!

They help people make informed decisions about the world we live in. Banning books is a way of saying "we want you to listen to us, we don't want you to be open to different ideas." Education should be about teaching our young people to think critically, and limiting what they have access to in a library is antithetical to that idea.

But if a child had a certain interest, then they would have access to google search or the local library. I just don’t agree that parents shouldn’t have a say so in their child’s education and the material they are exposed to when they are the ones funding the schools.

When was the last time you were consulted before the US bombed some 3rd world country?

Okay. You drive? When was the last time the DoT asked you about road closures?

I get where your going tho but it doesn't sway my opinion. I'm stating something very simple thats not a far right or left idea and that's being involved in a childs life and what they are exposed to. Nothing wrong with that.

My point is that you leave road planning to road planners, military moves to military personnel, and education to educators. If you don't want your child reading something, making it forbidden makes it wanted. Your best bet isn't fighting the experts; it's going over the material with your child. But that would mean getting involved in your child's life and we know nobody wants to do that when they can just flex idiotic and make teacher's jobs harder than they have to be.
