I enjoyed reading it. i am puzzled by why is banned. it is visceral. it is real. it s, unless you are a super prude, it uses language and references that everybody uses. if any parents doesn t think their kid knows about stuff like this, that is just weird and prudish and out of sync with everything. what is your sense of why this book is banned? i think people are afraid. i say this as a parent. i have a fourth grader and a kindergarten. and, like i understand the impulse and the instinct to try to keep these children safe and innocent. the difference between my children and the parents of children who can cry out against this book is that they have to know the information in the book to stay safe. mine have to know this information. so my hope is that instead of leaning into this fear that your kids are going to be exposed to something in a book
