The problem is that teaching marquis de Sade to young boys will make them coomer horny terrorists (it’s literally extreme graphic sex/erotica meant to arouse the reader) to the girls in their class. School is not the place for coomer fiction, or pedo fiction.

Teaching Lolita is child abuse because for anyone who actually went through that experience, they have to not only relive it, but see a quasi justification for it through the fact that this book is considered “great”.

It’s just like that movie hard candy. It’s all pedophilic and shouldn’t be taught.

No one has to or should teach either of these books to children.

As I have already stated elsewhere in this thread, this is in argument about restriction, not compulsion. You can not make something compulsory while also not restricting access to it.

Lolita is a commonly taught book in public high schools all across the United States. I personally experienced them teaching this garbage book.

The downvotes on my original post are gaslighters who want to act like the education system is what it should be. It isn’t.

I didn't downvote but I'm curious why you've hyperfixated on this book over the last two weeks or so
