I've provided zero evidence that individuals who are gay sexually would find graphic images depicting gay sex to be arousing? Uh, okay.

Gender Queer: A Memoir - Wikipedia
Schools often go younger than the intended audience. Shakespeare was intended for adults, but I studied him in high school. Edgar Allen Poe, also.
Genderqueer is not nearly as explicit as the Bible, AFAICT. I've never seen you say the Bible should not be in a school library.
If the elementary school stops at 5th grade, it should not be there. If the elementary school goes up to 7th or 8th grade, I don't have a problem with it there. What part of this answer is lacking?
I know you're smarter than you're acting right now.

Easy, the Bible should not be in a Public school library. In religion classes, there should be some/many.
See how easy it is to answer a question. If you’re at a religious private school, then yes they should have them in the library. Just to clarify.
Just because AIO self immolated his account doesn't mean OB, a multi-decade poster here, also has 0 credibility. OB could run a deficit for years and still be in the positive.

Still didn’t answer it. Should that book be banned from public elementary schools? I’ll even make it easier on you. K-5 elementary schools?
Absolutely, I could be more professional about this.
The images presented are not graphic at all. They are very sparsely drawn cartoons. I find it interesting that you insist they are sexually arousing drawings. Is that because they arouse you?
Furthermore, that's not the claim I disputed. I disputed "It is the intentions of the producer of the work, and the producer of this work has been crystal clear the intended audience is the demographic that would find one boy blowing another to be sexually arousing."
Adults finding a simplistic drawing of kids having sex to be arousing is pretty creepy, regardless of the genders of the kids involved. I wonder why this is not obvious to you.

Sure, but I have little patience left for OB. No effort, demands proof but doesn’t provide any, try’s to twist statements up, doesn’t answer questions. Just asks questions for gotcha moments. Honestly just a waste of time. He has no good faith in debating.
So, you support first graders reading about semen flowing like the emissions of donkeys in Ezekiel, and have a problem with "Gender Queer". I think the graphicness of the work is not the entirety of the issue.
The book does not belong in K-5 schools, and should be removed if it is there. I don't know why it has not been clear that is my opinion.
I wish I could recreate the graffiti that existed under the I-80 overpass over the Jordan River in SLC. I lived very very close to this when I was 2 to 10 years old from '79 to '87. There was the standard D and balls stick figure quality image and a "V" with a line vertically through it with a crude attempt at pubic hair with a stick figure female with ASCII quality boobs. There were also some "F" words and such spray painted there. Oh, and there were man poops to dodge.
I had sex and ate dat ***** when I was 13 years old. My GF was 14 at the time (high fives all around, thank you very much).
There isn't anything in those earlier posted images that I hadn't seen before I was 10. Yeah, the school library probably isn't the right place for that. But at the same time this is not some kind of tragedy.
I had to go to my kids elementary school when they were in 4th grade because they searched the school library computer for "wet p****" and my kid's teacher was hot and told me what was searched for. Fun times.
Kids aren't as innocent as we think, hope, want, expect that they are.
Sure, take those books out of schools and high fives all around for saving the children. Imagine your amazing victory over evil as if it is real. It isn't.
