It’s not censorship when a parent guides a child’s education. Censorship is a govt transgression.
There’s a lot of stuff to read out there and kids have no clue what is garbage and what is not. I spent too much time ingesting books with a liberal themes...I wish my parents bad steered me toward more wholesome literature so I wouldn’t have had to spend so much time later unraveling the junk I picked up.
A parent’s job is guidance...why wouldn’t that include reading?
My wife went to Catholic school and between the nuns and her strict mother, she was turned off from reading forever. Instead she watches garbage on television.
I was blessed in that I had complete freedom as a child with respect to reading material. If I had a book in my hand, my mother was happy. Yes, I was exposed to some "inappropriate" content from time to time but all that did was help me become a more discriminate reader.
