I am not for outright banning of books, but I am against mandatory reading of certain books for classes. There are some pretty sexually graphic scenes in a number of books not marketed as erotic that I believe have no place in the standard classroom or the elementary school library. A certian section at a public library, sure, but schools, no. It is like those backrooms at blockbuster.
- Why would you think it is a good idea to ban sexual content from schools?
- Do you have any examples?
  
  I think a classroom, where the reading is guided and purposeful can be a good setting for these kinds of topics.
