"School age children" sounds more like 8 year olds. I suppose those pickle faced Christian soldiers want to keep kids goiung through and well past puberty at a third grade reading level until they are married off to whoever their Daddies pick out for them.

My mother said she didn't give a shit what I read as long as I was reading and that's one thing I've always been grateful for.

These old bluenoses aren't protecting the kids from anything they're too young to understand. They're protecting themselves from kids who understand all too well.
