Are parents opposed to reading in general? or is this inappropriate?

ok.

using that logic, hitler and mao were worse than Trump, so quit your “fake outrage” over trump.

sounds stupid,, doesn’t it?

school should be a safe place for kids, a place to be away from all the crap they see elsewhere.

republicans cannot have a position that’s actually principled, right? only liberals can do that. right?

"Conservatives" are stuck in the old notion that school is for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, basics in the early years progressing to advanced versions and civics in order to prepare their children for success in their adult years as well to prepare them for the knowledge and moral based citizenship that puts our republic on solid ground.

Progressives have an advanced vision that sees K-12 as a training ground to prepare the children for the infinite variety of people and genders and experiences required to civilly acculturate them into the truly progressive international world of today and tomorrow. "illustrations of young men with their wangs in each others mouths" is but a small sample of the world they will grow into. They need to be prepared not only in how to participate, but to be cleansed from destructive negative judgments of the actual, beautiful world that exists in which they can immerse themselves rather than being extremist, nationalistic, (white)supremacist dangers to a peaceful well functioning world.
