Each State defines it differently, but since we're in a PA sub here's their law

> (a) Offenses defined.--No person, knowing the obscene character of the materials or performances involved, shall:

> (2) sell, lend, distribute, transmit, exhibit, give away or show any obscene materials to any person 18 years of age or older or offer to sell, lend, distribute, transmit, exhibit or give away or show, or have in his possession with intent to sell, lend, distribute, transmit, exhibit or give away or show any obscene materials to any person 18 years of age or older, or knowingly advertise any obscene materials in any manner;

> "Obscene." Any material or performance, if:

(1) the average person applying contemporary community standards would find that the subject matter taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest;

(2) the subject matter depicts or describes in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct of a type described in this section ; and

(3) the subject matter, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, educational or scientific value.

None the less, what does sucking D*ck have to do with education?Are the girls and boys supposed to learn multiplication by how many D'cks they suck?

Like I said above, if a parent believes these kind of books are appropriate for their child, go buy it for them. It is not appropriate material for a learning environment.

Sucking D*ck is pretty obscene. You're not allowed to show someone sucking D'ck on cable television, why should it be allowed in our classrooms with young children?

>The school library is there to serve all students not just the ones raised with conservative values, after all, my tax money went to that library too.

So now you're advocating for porn to be in school libraries... Good for you.

>Oh boy, you don't want to know about network or cable TV, streaming services, video games, books, music, the Internet or what students discuss amongst themselves.

Section 1470 of Title 18, United States Code, prohibits any individual from knowingly transferring or attempting to transfer obscene matter using the U.S. mail or any means or facility of interstate or foreign commerce to a minor under 16 years of age. Convicted offenders face fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years.

That's why I specifically said law. Children will find a way to see said materials, but it should not be readily available in a school setting.

>I think parents want their kids to grow up to be healthy and happy adults which requires teaching them about the world as it exists currently.

And what you consider "healthy and happy" is not the same as what others consider healthy and happy.

Should my tax dollars go towards something I believe to be completely inappropriate materials for a classroom just because you think it's "okay" for kids to read pornographic materials, even as it breaks federal law?

Homeschool your kids, folks!

>I don't see what all the fuss is about, there's nothing in there that I wouldn't want a middle schooler or high schooler to learn about or see if they are being raised with a healthy understanding of the sexual nature of humans.

And that is your choice as their parent. Most parents want to avoid their children getting a hold of sexual novels.

Buy the book for your child if you think it is appropriate.

This material does not belong in a public school library. There's a reason all sexual material is limited to 18+ by law.
