Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wtf are you talking about, I have clear memories of my elementary school classmates pointing out things in anatomy books and talking about sex, are you really such a prude that you don't think or even remember that you were interested in such things as a child?
you're kidding right?.....
an anatomy book is a educational guide and reference for understanding human biology. It's a textbook, explicitly and primarily written for learning... that's quite a large step away from a fantasy erotica novel...... just because they're both books with dicks in them does not mean they're both appropriate for kids.
Intention matters. Unless you're an idiot, I guess?
You cannot stop children from looking at the things/ finding the things that they want to, and trying to block access to those things is just censorship for the sake of making yourself feel better.
So your argument is
"even though you're the parent and responsible for the wellbeing and education of your child, you're not allowed to set any kind of restrictions or boundaries. You must let your child do whatever they want, consume whatever they want.... because they want to, and they will try to do it anyways so just let them"
that's your position? Just... don't parent at all?
