when u make a post that essentially confesses that ur dum

@moonman people underestimate what's "age-appropriate" though. I think required reading should prepare high school students for the concept that the outside world is an unfair and often ugly place.

I was never given any reading restrictions at all and as a result i was reading at an adult level around 10 years old and had far outstripped "age appropriate" reading lists by the time i was 13. I had to get special permission to read books like "Lord of the Flies" and "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" for book reports in school because these were considered "too advanced" for a 13-year-old mind. The real reason was prudishness; each had an extremely euphemistic scene that might be considered sexual in nature even though there was no sex, only hints. The scenes were more about violence, of which there was plenty in the "age-appropriate" books of the time.

In theory it's a nice idea, but in practice, the Karens of the world keep kids from reading perfectly acceptable books for the simple fact that they didn't like them.

Unpopular opinion, high schools should be highly selective about what’s age-appropriate to teach kids.

@shampoobottle @realcaseyrollins But it's not like they knew what technology was coming and how that would effect the economics of slavery. If they somehow did, then you can make the same argument that the confederacy should have just yielded and agreed to transition away from slavery.
