So the schools (government) should have more control over a young persons sexual development then their parents? It is the parents job to protect there childern from the world while they grow, until they are able to be self sufficient. Who did the state do in Uvalde at protecting childern, or any other school shooting. This is much the same. There are sexual predators out there folks, think: Epstein, to catch a predator, Catholic church… Lets stay we were not talking about sex and gender, but violence and war. Should 11 and 12 year olds be able to go fight, Or shown the nature of real voilence. Why not?
Thats it! I’m outta here. Enjoy your: extremist liberal mind virus, commy ladden, incel hentai, minor attracted person filled dumpster fire. App uninstalled! Sorry to break the news but leftists and maga are more alike then different, they are just on opposite sides. Extremism is extremism!
Yes. We literally invented schools to teach kids. What a fucking dumb question. You should be disappointed in yourself if you’re a fucking teacher. You must realize how retarded most average parents are and yet still think they should be the prime teachers of the next generation? NOT THE TEACHERS?

Unfortunately, when it comes to LGBTQ+ students, parents are quite often the problem, not the solution.
I’d love to live in a world where gay kids could feel safe coming out to their own families, but unfortunately that isn’t reality for entirely too many kids.
So it falls on the larger society to support them and explain that what they are feeling is part of a larger spectrum and they shouldn’t feel ashamed of who they are.
Maybe when we reach that day, they won’t be 4x more likely to attempt suicide than their heteronormative peers.
Yes, most people are idiots, including parents. My desire as a parent is that such idiots have no say in my child’s education. This is a perfect example of why.
But please, do continue standing on the corner yelling at random strangers about pedophiles. It really helps the rest of the sane world know who to keep their kids away from.
That seems to be the crux of it to me that people don’t want to acknowledge because, yes, it sounds bad and people can claim you’re homophobic for banning it from school libraries.
Honestly, considering pg 168 of this GN alone it would get banned in my past schools even if the blowjob depicted was between a straight couple. It is rated 16+, not Mature, but also not “all ages.” I could see it being in a highschool library just because it is about gay stuff, straight it would likely still be banned because it just always has been, and ime we didn’t have graphic novels in school at all, I had to buy them myself at the barnes & noble with allowance money until I got a job (15 mi in the snow both ways yadda yadda I’m old). Thankfully my parents are cool and let me (mostly) read whatever I wanted shy of actual pornography but even when they didn’t I just circumvented the blocks or downloaded it illegally. This isn’t out of the norm tbh, part of being a kid ime. At least y’all have internet archive now, I found the book in full in .2sec and so can anyone else.
To be clear, the blowjob isn’t REALLY a blowjob, it’s strap on play, and both characters at that stage are consenting adults, the main character states a few pages before that they are 25 and their partner has been married and divorced.
Ehhh yeah but schools usually ban strap on play too, so it’s still on brand for “normal school behavior” and I’m hesitant to say it is only because of the lgbt angle, since again, straight strap on play between two consenting adults drawn or otherwise is similarly “banned” from most elementary and middle school libraries, if not high school as well.
I’m not here to pass judgement on the characters for their actions or age difference or anything, I’m just saying “I’m not surprised and I don’t think it’s homophobia.” We could have the discussion on whether or not America’s puritanical views on sex are bad or not, sure, but strap on play being banned from schools is par for the course in my experience in school back in the day.
Oh i won’t, but thats the issue here isn’t it. The schools are bypassing the wishes of the parents.
Oh no, not the parents!
