Here are some images from books banned in Florida schools for K - 3 students by the "don't say gay" bill (censored but not safe for work): https://www.senatoraument.com/blurred-explicit-examples/

People can make their own choice if they think this is good content for nine year olds.

I enjoy that they added censor bubbles to make the pictures seem worse than they are after having me attest to being over 18. Top-tier scare mongering.

>after having me attest to being over 18.

That is required by federal law. Same reason you have to attest to being over 18 on porn sites.

You're welcome to post said law but there a thousands of websites on the world wide web that host explicit images that don't require you to attest to being 18. This website is hosting censored cartoon images that weren't explicit in the first place.

School boards have kicked parents out for reading these books as they are too explicit for that forum: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/florida-school-board-remove...
