"sexually explicit"(minority actually are), or anything regarding LGBT, disagreeable ideologies of race, not just to prepubescent but also teenagers who should be allowed to make their own choices on what they can read. If parents don't like it, they can tell their children they can't read a book. It should not be up to the state or federal. Parents can complain to the school, vote in administrators to the schools that agree with their view, but that is the limit, for SCHOOL LIBRARIES. These book bans often also effect adult libraries because kids "could" have access. That's not the world I want to see. The government should not be allowed to control what information people have access to. And they should absolutely stay right out of regular non-school libraries.
The bible is more sexually and violently explicit than most of these books banned, yet its allowed and even forced in schools now.
Evolution is not a religion, creationism is. Also, I was only in high school 4 years ago, they taught us about other religions, in a left leaning school they just didn't try to instill the 10 commandments into us. Nor did they present religion as the truth. Regardless of what you believe is true, kids should absolutely be encouraged to use facts gotten by the scientific method and be skeptical of claims that arent proven by it. Knowing what the bible says about the start of the universe wont help us make quantum computers, fusion, knowing what the scientific method says has and will. Regardless of what you feel, evidently God wants us to understand the world in a specific way if we want to develop technologically(a common idea among religious scientists). And I'm religious.
