Less censorship? But then how will we become a government mandated utopia?

My 8yr old came home with a book from school explaining what certain words mean.. intercourse was one of the words, condom, sperm, now is it just me or is that wrong? I closed the book so I hate to think what else is in there

Have we found out which school in Manchester this is yet?

They’re making generations unfamiliar to each other yikes , I’ve noticed this for a while.

Oh cringe, let’s not remove books that are deemed appropriate by librarians and teachers from schools.

That’s interesting, at the same time the NEU are calling to try and censor Reform in the educational environment.

1984, art books featuring nude sculpture and paintings, and books by LGBTQ+ authors have been removed in the name of decency. Twilight too, presumably because it’s not very good? Which is also not a good reason.
These are books that we need to expose kids to (well, maybe not Twilight. But we shouldn’t hide it from them.)

Depends on the books. Alan Moores “Lost Girls” is a work of art but has no business being in a school for example.

I mean, they banned the Twilight series, so it can’t all be bad, right? /jk
Seriously though, no-one seems to have read the article to find out what’s actually going on, including the NEU. What actually happened is that a library audited its collection and moved some books into categories which they considered more age-approprriate. Are we really saying that all children of all ages should be given access to all books with no regard for how appropriate they are to their ages now?

You could put anything on the shelves, kids don’t read books anymore
