'Appropriate for children' is what I have an issue with.
Withholding knowledge because of an arbitrary line is the antithesis of learning. Who gets to determine what is appropriate and for whom?
If my kid wants to read something with content that's more mature, I'm ok with that. If I've read it, I'll warn them of the more shaky bits that they'll come across and what is and isn't ok especially relative to their age and mentality.
If they bring home fifty shades, I'll have a discussion about it with them and the concepts of consent as well as body autonomy and let them know that what happens in that book are not that.
