Is your 14 yo not allowed to go to friends' houses where they might have much more access to these things?

My 14 year old can read any book at any time and our shelves are full of books that would upset many pearl clutchers. That is not the point. My point is that if even my kid from a supportive, educated, middle class family can't get used books or epubs, it's absurd to present it as a solution to banned books from school libraries.

And my point is that if you're that certain your 14 yo isn't accessing things you're not aware of, then you must be watching them very close indeed.

I very much hope my 14 year old is accessing things I'm not aware of. I consider it a rite of passage.

I'm not solving for my 14 year old. I'm solving for the other 11 million middle school students in the US who don't have access to used book stores and epubs and are very definitely impacted by school library censorship.
