Well I'm not sure If I spelled that right or not. But anyway. I was thinking about this this morning. Why do some people feel it's not ok to scensor younger children. I was reading some of the blogs and it got me thinking. I saw on the news concerning the girl in 7th grade that was reading a book that the school picked out. They felt the book was appropriate for these age groups. The book was full of swearing including the F bomb. I know libraries do not scenscor the books in any age group. I know when my oldest daughter was in the fourth grade she had to pick a book for school too. In this book I found it talked about masterbation!!!! The library said it wasn't up to them concerning the material. It was up to the parents. Which is fine, but I'm not familiar with the materials in these books. I would think the librarians would be. PG 13 has some nudity in them, and a whole lot of swear words. I just don't understand why some parents feel there children are able to handle all this kind of stuff at such a young age. There are some adults that can't handle this kind of stuff. They don't always make the right descisions. So why do some people feel there children can handle things, and make the right descisions based simply on the fact that they are THERE children? Why should young children be subject to certain unappropriate things just because they can?
