    High school kids watch porn. Why can’t they read a true story about stuff that actually happened to other kids, which happens to contain a sex scene? Lots of books have sex scenes. One example that sticks with me is Mystic River, which I read around 9th grade. Should I have been banned from reading that?

      Just because kids watch porn doesn’t mean the government should supply kids with it. Nothing is being banned by not distributing it in schools. Kids, the same ones that watch porn even though it’s illegal, will be able get books that are not in school libraries.

                    So you want to ban entire books because of a single sentence? Talk about triggered.

              Nothing is being banned. The gonernment isn’t banning Ferraris because they they are not handing them out.

                I got my books from the school library. You’re saying they shouldn’t have given me Mystic River?
