[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5545968, member: 24302"] It is exactly what you said. You said you weren't going to participate in a book burning ideology. You asked who was going to draw the line as to what is acceptable? And said to me "you?" You then in the above post said the local school board has authority and final say as to what's allowable. So if the school board allows books in school libraries detailing graphic sexual acts you're saying it's their right to do so. You've also said protesting such things at school board meetings isn't the best way to handle these things. In no way should such material be available to kids to read and your expectation that children should bring such books to their parents to examine isn't realistic in the real world. Are you going to read a 400 page book every time your child brings one to you? Most parents are going to find out the hard way when their child tells them what they just read. Assuming the child actually tells them. How would you even know that there's a problem with books at the library so that you could tell your child to bring all material to you first to examine if your child never tells you about the problem? And in order for you to find out, your child has to be exposed to it first. But in your perfect world scenario your child will bring everything to you first and you're going to spend hours every night pouring through books to make certain they're acceptable rather than tell the school board at their meeting that kids in your child's school are being exposed to inappropriate material because who are you to judge what's inappropriate. That's the school board's job and if they allow it we shouldn't question it. What I find very telling in your posts is you think we shouldn't push back against sin because sin is in the eye of the beholder. What we deem as inappropriate for children may not seem like a problem to others. So just live and let live. And is exactly why our society is tumbling into an abyss. [/QUOTE]
