It Only Takes One Parent to Get All Graphic Novels Removed from School Library

Here's a sample page from Amazon's preview: https://i.imgur.com/dFHyQ4d.png

I don't think even at the height of puberty could I have managed to masturbate to that, even assuming it actually contained drawings meant to arouse. The word graphic doesn't always imply sexually explicit. In "graphic novel" it merely means "drawn".

> This kind of material is damaging to children

Citation needed. The sight of naked humans being damaging to children may just be an invention by America's Bible Belt. In other words damaged adults projecting and being made uncomfortable themselves by proxy, not realizing their children are not yet damaged the same way they are.

Making the human body taboo is how you raise another generation who apparently gets uncontrollably aroused by the mere sight of some skin and thus is made uncomfortable by it. I believe intellectually everyone knows this isn't the natural state of things, but rather something instilled by culture and upbringing?

Others, both within and without the US, seem to be doing fine raising their children sans this thinking. One may even argue other approaches yield more competent adults.

I skimmed (very quickly) through it. The "graphic depictions" of naked people are very tame. It seems reasonable for teenagers to read this.

There's a picture of a boy's drawing of a naked woman, in thick pen.

There's a scene where two adolescents are shirtless and close in bed.

There's a picture of penises, but they boys are ~8 years old or so. It's a bad memory from childhood.
