What I'm hearing is an objection to books that acknowledge sexual encounters of any kind happening between characters in books being available to students of any age in state schools.
Keeping your own kids out of public schools seems like a much more reasonable approach to parenting than supporting bans on what other parents' children are allowed to read in public schools is.

I'm sorry, but what I read in the one Maas book that I scanned seemed a hell of a lot like porn to me — unless "real" porn involves animals or something. I don't want to get into details about exactly what you think constitutes porn, but I've got a really clear idea of what I didn't want my kids reading in school. This crap (smut, porn, explicit material, "instruction manual," whatever you want to call it) definitely falls into that category.
Remember, high school kids are as young as 14 (maybe 13) years old. Do you think they stop rating movies now?
