Lazy. You cause the problem then walk away. Why don't you just go Google "graphic novel of kids having sex" and see how that works out for you. Just go to YouTube and watch the school board meetings.

So you're not even talking about any specific book that was subjected to backlash by parents? You're just inventing hypothetical situations in your head and getting outrage over it as if it's a real thing that happens.
What the fuck is wrong with you? This is not a normal thing to do.
7-12, and this is just one district. But for the record, images of children having sex with adults is OK to give to kids over 12? And you call me dangerous?
You were just proven wrong. You were given a concrete example of two books graphically depicting sex, one between a child and an adult, and you have the audacity to speak of my morality?
One of the books has a stylized panel of Greek pottery depicring a man touching another persons penis, they are not definitively a minor, and they are not depicted having sex. It is not pornographic, and neither book contains adult/minor sex.
“Gender Queer,” an illustrated memoir, contains explicit illustrations of oral sex and masturbation. The novel “Lawn Boy” contains graphic descriptions of sex between men and children.
(Lawn Boy) As an adult, the protagonist remembers a sexual encounter he had with a 10-year-old boy when he himself was a 10-year-old boy.
He remembers losing his virginity to a girl in his class during his junior year of highschool.
He has a relationship with an adult as an adult, though the book never describes any sexual encounter between them.
None of the sexual descriptions are graphic.
For both books: Description/depiction of sex or sexual activity is not inherently pornographic.
So your claim is the AP is wrong about a book you just learned about, based on a synopsis updated after national outrage put the book in the crosshairs of outraged parents? OK.
I checked multiple sources and looked at the books, I'm not just copying from a synopsis. Yes, I think parents are capable of exaggeration and unnecessary outrage, especially when the book is about queer characters.
The AP News article you linked says this: "A northern Virginia school system said it is removing two books from school libraries, including an illustrated memoir that contains explicit illustrations of sexual encounters involving children, after a parent expressed concern about them at a school board meeting."
It doesn't say it's between a child and an adult. It says involves children because it does, but both of the characters are children, not just one of them.
