* I specially mentioned science as it is a ( very broad) area of study where ideas and understanding really are changing. I think everyone here believes in science and that students should have the most up to date information/current thinking and understanding possible. What should be done with outdated science books? What IS done with outdated science books?
Similarly I am pretty sure everyone here believes that homosexuality is a valid sexual orientation ration and is not a mental illness, sin or aberration. I’m pretty sure a bunch of us remember when homosexuality was not openly discussed ( mainstream anyway), was legally prohibited and some at least are aware that it used to be considered a mental illness—something I’m sure we ALL disagree with.
Should such harmful books be removed from libraries? What should happen to them?
