k-12 students are not adults. We ban and censor all sorts of things for the the underage crowd, look up CIPA. There are borderline pedophilia books available at school libraries. I've also seen several examples of incredibly racist CRT books in classrooms. I don't think young kids should have unfettered access to this stuff. They're not able to process it correctly. If communities are saying they do not want this is…

"I've also seen several examples of incredibly racist CRT books in classrooms." Can you list some examples?

There's the first lovely one that literally has a picture of devil equating it to being white. Yes it's a conservative source, feel free to disprove it.

Ibram X. Kendhi race grifting CRT stance has been implemented into curriculum in several school districts as well.

The 1619 project has been accepted in many school districts

Oh and you have this lovely teacher that accepted these racist ideas and decided to segregate her classroom based on race

And don't bother with the CRT is a legal theory only taught in colleges. Yes that's the original source but all of this stuff present in k-12 is a downstream effect of that same thinking. Label it whatever you want, it's racist and needs to stop.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, please list. Just a couple will do.

See above. Plenty of easily found examples if you actually do research and don't accept the MSM narrative that it's only a legal theory and not found in public schools.

Should religious texts which contain such things or related topics be removed as well?

Depends on how they're being taught. If they're being used as examples of what a religion is then no. If they're being used like Lawn Boy to brainwash kids into thinking pedophilia is acceptable then no. Maybe you should ask whether you'd be ok with a religious class where we teach that everyone should be a good Christian?

Let me know when the ACLU takes the same stance on LGBTQ books because right now I'd put them squarely in the same category as religion. People have a cult like adherence to LGBTQ ideology.
