Letter to the editor: Books and the sexualization of our children

Regarding the letter “Book-banning futility” (July 23, TribLIVE): Assuming an honest opinion here, not just more leftist hysteria, the letter expressed a concern for sexual material being used in schools. How anyone can defend the sexualization of children in our schools is beyond me. Is this truly necessary?

The diatribe against Moms for Liberty reads like a far-left manifesto intended to divert attention away from the real issues. Classic shell-game stuff. We’re talking about exposing elementary students to sexual material entirely inappropriate to their age group.

The left immediately jumps back to a society some hundreds of years ago. C’mon. Really? I guess the Brave New World proponents would have all children taken away from their parents and brought up in State-approved environments free from parental interference.

As for the Southern Poverty Law Center, I’m sure an extreme left group such as they are would see anyone not agreeing with their distorted view as extreme. One end of the spectrum always sees the other as miscolored.
