You act like we are naive or something.
We're not.
Not naïve. Insular and out of touch.

Not even a little bit.
Wanting to ban books 'for the children!' is about as out of touch with reality as a person can get in my opinion.

I hate the term "Organic" - - but, I prefer it over - - forcing my kid.
Because some people think its a good idea.

Should children learn arithmetic 'organically'? We should stop forcing that on the poor tykes, some children just cannot math as well as others and could get a complex.

Seriously.
Cause, like, ya know, literature and arithmetic are pretty important subjects. If you are gonna half ass one, why not go all the way? For the children of course.
I love the little germ machines.

Me too. I mean how can you give sex ed a stamp of approval if even racial slurs in historical context are offensive?

Here a quote from the book. To me this is just meaning we all all humans. Some people would read this the wrong way in their head.
Some negroes lie, some are immoral, some negro men are not be trusted around women - black and white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (To Kill a Mockingbird #1)
There is zero reason to even suggest separation like this to a child. Or to bring back words no longer used in common conversation.
Some negroes lie, some are immoral, some negro men are not be trusted around women - black and white.

That's okay. I said I would remember this thread when the sex ed subject is brought up in the future. I've been here 5 years, and it pops up from time to time. I recognize the posters who are against it. They know who they are.
