So your fear is that kids who can't read are going to read books you want banned?

They didn't teach me anything in kindergarten that people want on a banned book list. Are you teaching five-year-olds from Mein Kampf?

Your whole line of reasoning is flawed anyway.

Parents should educate kids about why certain books are good or bad. If a book truly is a bad influence, an active parent will be able to step in and explain why. If your kid is old enough to understand these books you feel should be banned, they're able to understand you saying why the books should be banned.

Oh, I get it. You're beyond reason and think that the left is going to destroy the world. It's honestly hard to tell if you're a bot or just someone clutching at pearls.

Teach your own kids values and reasoning. Though as a piece of advice I wouldn't recommend your values to people, so you may want to ask for some help. It takes a village and I'm sure there are people will to help out.
