Re: Article "The Trouble With Babies"

[Cindy Lafferty <clafferty@TCHS.US>]

Dear LM_Net
The line that stood out for me in this article was
that "children rely on adults for books" (the idea was
that teens had disposible income and could buy their
own books if they were unavailable in the library at
school or public library).
  But, isn't that the right way? Shouldn't parents
make the decision as to what they feel is acceptable
for their child to read?
   Many younger children have not been introduced to
the comcept of sexuality and maybe a parent doesn't
want the questions that may arise from reading about a
gay character - even if it is , as the author states,
only in the background.
   This is an issue with no easy solutions.
