We demand that schools educate, entertain, and raise our children for us, at least until the evening hours, when we stop for dinner at McDonald's and then send them to bed. Otherwise, they become latch-key kids. We don't monitor what they watch or censor what they listen to. But, we expect the media to do it for us. The category is usually aimed at readers age 12 and up.
Parents are happy to see their kids reading.
But, they don't check out what they are reading. America's organized librarians do read these books and think they're swell books for your kids. That's because the American Library Association has its own agenda. It is paranoid in its zeal to protect its members First Amendment rights and against any and all censorship. A lot of people and a lot of groups are raising our children.
