Assuming they have the funds to buy or get to the books which isn’t always the case. Even with public libraries and digital content.
I’m not sure when parents stopped expecting to have to actually parent and started thinking that the world should do it for them, but I’m more than tired of it. Don’t want your kid reading things you don’t approve of? Instill in them the need to check with you about their reading. Don’t limit everyone else based on what you don’t want your kid to read.

Funny because I know more than my fair share of teachers and they actively don’t impose their morals on students in general nor in reading suggestions or assignments.
I think many parents see neutral as not being neutral because it doesn’t align with their beliefs. This seems to be more and more common recently.
