Agree. But, that my change depending on if you're talking about an individual student compared to all students as a collective.

I'm posting situations where 11 year olds are reading material with highly-sexual imagery and zero educational value/intent. Do you feel that is out-of-bounds protection for pre-teens? We have discussed what is age-appropriate for such things as well as parents being primary in those exposure scenarios.
Not sure about the same people doing both, but I'm not those people. Segregation is an example where the truth didn't evolve, it was too widely accepted and built on evil premises (the lie - one people (not actions or choices) is inherently and innately inferior to another). We moved towards truth through integration.
The irony now is we're so fractured you see calls for segregation again...from some people whose parents and grandparents fought for integration.

I don’t think there are bad schools, only bad locations and bad parents and very few bad teachers.

Yes it is.
I mean, parents have always had the choice of sending their kids to private schools or public schools, but income and neighborhood often make the choice for you.

That is what I mean.
It is the kids that ruin it...because the parents don't stop it...
I taught in a school where I was told to "f#&% off" for asking a 7th grade to open her book. Where two students refused to sit at the same table because they hated each other and started cursing each other out, where a 7th grade girl told me her grandpa was going to come to school and make me "rest in peace"

How many people-days is that where a kid went to the library and didn't see something explicit?

There are higher imperatives to teach kids at those ages (you could've said pre-teens), whether from the Bible or public school curriculum.
Maybe take the grievance up with Site Staff for their perspective.
HuskerBoard.com Rules
#4 - No Porn or Strong Sexual Content
This includes links to adult web sites and/or posting content that may not be suitable for younger viewers.
"But, we're not talking about porn or strong sexual content."
But why differentiate "younger viewers" either way? The strong makes it too much for them?
Or maybe because it serves zero value or purpose for pre-teens and should be worked through at home with their parents.

I didn't limit my statement to.sexually explicit content. The kids can go online and read anything and everything being pulled from the library. The kids are an excuse.

Fantastic feature when the pre-teens are pulling information relevant to their education and maturity. As they grow, they're exposed to much more. And, ideally, parents are locked in engaging them through the process.
This very site's COC rule #4 differentiates kids from certain content.
Flipping it, what is the root of your passion to have pre-teens/kids exposed to sexually explicit material condoned/missed by/championed/other by the public schooling system?

Nobody is passionate about providing kids with porn.
Most just reject the premise that this is actually an existing issue in schools whatsoever outside of highly anomalous one-off instances.

Some are taking the angle of what was presented isn't really that bad...
On the other side, no one is touting book burning party while kids are cocooned until the age of 40.

I’m still getting over the trauma of National Geographic when I was in grade school.
