Gavra, we probably disagree as to what level of education is required to be able to choose what to read from the public library.

And probably what is acceptable as well. Mods blocked my post when I tried to question where the line is (or should be) drawn. As you may have surmised, I believe (in general) the more you ban, the more likely the child will ignore/rebel against you and go for the really bad stuff. And yes, I’ll mostly trust an older child (while I still have a say) that they will look at books on sports and not something that he or she knows they shouldn’t be reading.

You seemed to mostly ignore my distinction based on level of yetzer hora.

I don’t believe I can discuss this here without the Mods blocking. However, I’m usually the one who warns of the Power of the Dark Side, and am very concerned with it. However, that deals (mostly) with the child who looks for such items, not an accidental reader.
