What? I said “as long as it’s a culture war issue.” meaning that people are playing dirty, and refuse to not play dirty.
So I am saying restricting sex education is a bad policy, and the moral thing to do is to teach children, specifically young adults, about the world is a good thing. The policy I’m advocating for is good sex education, and conservatives want to argue for a system that allows for more pederasty. How can I not be against that?
But “good” policy is subjective. Talking policy in a partisan space like this won’t move anyone. I would be screaming into a void.
I also want good sex Ed. But I don’t consider obscene books in an uncontrolled setting to be even remotely decent sex Ed. It’s no better than just handing them Google, and telling them safe search is off.
If you find it obscene then make a book that queer youths can relate to that can replace it. As it currently stands if that book is the only thing that some queer youths can find commonality in then it is a good book to have for their mental health.
If they’re so desperate, they can read it on their own. School libraries don’t hold a monopoly on book distribution
