It's okay for a 12-year-old to carry her rapist's child to term but lord forbid that same child have access to books about safe sex. And also, what makes them think it's acceptable for them to impose their Puritan "ideals" on everyone? No one is forcing their child to read GenderQueer. Meanwhile, there are plenty of Puritanical and racist books - referred to as "classics" - still available in school libraries everywhere. My question for these folks is, "So you admit you can't control your own children so you need to control everyone else's?"
