We as a society also have a duty to care for children. We do not have a duty to humor the delusion and prejudice of every parent, nor the right to engage in censorship just to mollify some delusional parents group. Queer and trans kids have a right to exist in society and not be treated as a threat.

I already stated that I would never support banning/censorship of books but allowing parents to make those decisions. I agree that it must be fought and not accepted and you can do that in schools but that has nothing to do with not allowing their child access to a book. (3

That is why we are a society as people think differently and you are suggesting that we have automatons that all think alike. Our job is to try and teach open minds and critical thinking and fight racism and bigotry but you can not control what ignorant people tell their children. (2

We as a society have a responsibility to teach standard required information such as evolution and sex/biology education for examples. But we do not have the authority to force children to read fiction books. (1

This is the problem with the concept of parents rights (beyond the actual legal rights parents should and do have) that the right is trying to push. It treats parenthood as more of a means to achieve power over someone than the joyful and serious responsibility it is.

Let parents stupidly spend their time not allowing their own child access to information or enjoyment. There is no perfect system. (2

You are applying a very simplistic view and as long as we are human and dealing with other humans you can not fix all of it. Fight for schools to teach true history/science and facts to fight a lot of the prejudice/bigotry in the world. (1
