took my family to see the duchamp show and my cousin was laughing his ass off about "Rotary Glass Plates (Precision Optics), 1920" because duchamp and man ray switched it on in the apartment and it nearly flew apart and maimed them, he just kept imagining it super buddy boner comedy style but theyre just suave, well dressed frenchmen getting up to slapstick Art Antics

I do actually think the raised-by-Democrats millennials who had free rein to read whatever book we wanted and got to be the only kid in the fourth grade allowed to watch South Park and see R-rated movies are better for it. My parents allowed me pretty much unrestricted access to media from a fairly early age; what resulted is I got my curiosity about taboo topics assuaged by books — much safer than doing that pretty much anywhere else! — and it set me up for continuing to love all that media as an adult and see it as something that is fun and interesting rather than something to be feared. People don’t think of the consequences on kids’ brains of treating books (or music or movies or TV) like something dangerous, and how that’s one of those unconscious messages that doesn’t easily go away when you grow up and even if they reject their parents’ politics. See all the “leftists” on here obsessed with the idea that “problematic” fanfiction or kink at pride can corrupt people. But also, I don’t get how people fail to realize how fundamentally incompatible that mindset is with raising lifelong readers!!!

I think the way the Internet is now that’s different from the 2000s, I have more sympathy for parents controlling or monitoring their kids’ access more than mine did (particularly with all the shit designed to politically radicalize or scam them before they really have the toolset to counter any of that, and often for just exploring a benign hobby like gaming, sports or makeup). But there’s never any reason to do that with books, especially once a kid is in middle school, but for erudite elementary schoolers too. (Aaaand I’d argue this is also true for most audiovisual media too. The people I know who were learning about sex and drugs from music, adult animated cartoons, anime and fanfiction as preteens are also better off than the people whose parents tried to shelter them from all that instead!)

Also some of this is that if your student has a shitty small-minded teacher who objects to the books they’re reading for fun, or is obsessed with keeping everyone to a specific reading level, you need to actively push back on that. I hate anything that blames teachers but those individual teachers do exist, I had some as a kid and you probably did too. And just anecdotally, there are a concerning number of people I see online who buy into “fandom anti” and other fauxgressive mentalities about “reading about the wrong topics is dangerous” who also claim to be secondary school English teachers, or who brag about curriculums that seem to be infantilizing (e.g. assigning YA beyond 9th grade or so) — so I think it needs to be said.
