I am against book banning bu6 I don't want a 10 year old access to a ton of damaging content.
The internet is bad enough, this is a hard nut to Crack but worthy of conversation.
The question is what constitutes "damaging content"?
Whether it gets said or not, the vast majority of the time people talking about "age appropriateness" in books are against books that include critical discussion of racism/slavery/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny, or take an inclusive perspective on gender identity, unorthodox gender presentation, non-heterosexual sexuality, non-heterosexual families, and women's rights.
That is the question there are absolutely vile things that have been put into print.
