Why It’s Time We Start Treating Books Like Movies And Music (Op-Ed)

July 12, 2023July 12, 2023 TTC 4 Comments Books, Children, Frances Rosales, Opinion, Parents, public libraries, Public Schools, rating system, Rutherford County, school libraries, sexually explicit, Students, Tennessee

Unfortunately, In Many Places Across The Country, Including Here In Rutherford County, Our Local Libraries And Public-School Libraries Are Circulating Sexually Explicit And Highly Controversial Content. Many Of These Books Use The Graphic Novel Format And Have Covers That Most Adults Would Interpret As Comic Book-Like Material.
What If We Started Rating Books Like We Rate Movies, Television Shows, Podcasts, And Music?
It’s Time To Make Our School Libraries And Public Libraries Safe Places Where Children Can Develop A Joy Of Reading And Learning Without Parents Worrying That Their Children Are Consuming Content That Is Not Appropriate.
