Parents or other adults should be able to ban books from schools and libraries

Though books can be a great way to explore complex topics and life lessons, These always end up being the job of parents to discuss. - Not every parent is willing to discuss complex topics like sex with their children and schools don't always go into detail about the topic. Also, In some instances the topic could be about being gay and they might not want their child to be gay so they wouldn't talk about that in order to prevent them from feeling a certain way. Through books they could learn a lot. If schools or libraries were to have a book about Adolf Hitler I feel that it would most likely be about how he did a mass genocide (the Holocaust) and how millions of Jews died as a result. I highly doubt they'd "absorb the ideas" as you say. In fact they would probably realize how wrong it was unless they were brought up in an environment where people are racist and discriminative (perhaps their parents are). These parents believe it is necessary and good to shelter their children from this negative stuff when they'll be exposed to it sooner or later, So what difference does it make? There is more to this than just the idea that children will pick up bad ideas. - Let's just say we were to ban that traumatizing, Fear-inducing book. Said child could still be exposed to true events in real life that happened and that could traumatize them too. If you don't want that to happen to your child you might as well ban movies, TV shows, News and media while you're at it. Either way said child will be exposed to such scenarios at one point in their life. Also, Most books that are banned aren't due to events that traumatize the reader. They are mainly due to offensive language, Being sexually explicit and for other reasons. Nowadays young kids swear a lot whether they learned this from an older sibling or somewhere else. To ban a book because of something that they're already exposed to in school seems like a waste of time especially if said book could be really beneficial to the child. Gay men are present in numerous ways in Shakespeare's plays. People have used that as a reason to ban Twelfth Night because it "encourages homosexuality" as if there was something wrong with that. People even challenged and banned the Harry Potter series because they thought it to be "ungodly" and against their religious values since it "promoted witchcraft" which is completely absurd. Many kids these days grew up reading such a book and to simply take it away because it talked about fantasies that are nearly impossible isn't fair to say the least. All in all I believe, That parents and other adults shouldn't be able to ban books from schools and libraries because it restricts other students from reading the book, Prevents them from learning valuable life lessons and some reason for banning said book shows how discriminative they are (e. G. Banning a book because it has LGBT content*). *I know that earlier you mentioned "Homophobia is not a good reason to ban books, Obviously. There are clear reasons to ban books, However, That can be agreed upon by people on the right and the left. " (Round 3). But, Yet people use that as a reason to ban books whether it be because it's against their religion or because they simply don't like the LGBTQ+ community. If such reasons are going to be used ban a book then it will enforce this belief on their children that this wrong when there is nothing wrong in identifying as LGBTQ+.
