Sara and others,
This reply is not attributed to Sara but to whoever wrote the "conservative
Christian", "liberal New England" reply. You might want to think about how you
attribute sensitivity concerning premarital sex. I'm sure there are just as many
"liberal" parents as there are "conservative Christian" parents who don't want
their children engaging in sexual intercourse during their teenage years. I don't
see what's wrong with wishing your children would wait until they are married to
have sex. You are just reinforcing stereotypes. Thanks for once again making me
reconsider my participation in this listserv.

Here they are.

I have the entire series in my Grade 7-8 school and the kids love it. I've read the
whole series, and while it's obvious that Bella and Edward consummate their
marriage, the Christian Conservatives in your community should be happy that they
waited until they were married to do so!
Seriously, I think every middle school should have the entire series. The kids love
it, and with the movie coming out, the demand is only going to increase.
I've had no problem with the books, but I'm in "liberal" New England.
I am a middle school librarian and to solve the problem, I keep a shelf of YA
books in my office that kids can check out if they have a permission slip signed
saying they can read YA. I have "Breaking Dawn, "Forever in Blue", Patricia
McCormick and several others that I would have allowed my kids to read in middle
school but have parents in this community who might not.
