    lol, i blocked that one jackass and now there’s only 2 comments in this thread. folks, it’s okay to block people for literally any reason at all. it can make the places you’re in feel normal again. i entertained the thought process, but being compared to a pedophile for being more flexible with the literature with content appropriate for a high schooler is a pretty reasonable place to draw the block line, imo.

    fuckin hell, so much “great american literature” that is considered a staple in the public school system has objectionable content at some level. many high schoolers have sex. being educated on it, and understanding what is fiction and what is academic is fully within their abilities and shouldn’t be considered crazy. I don’t know what’s in roots, but this dude was spouting off about other banned books anyway.

    i’m meandering a bit, but anyway i just want to reinforce that it’s okay to just mute the noise.
