No seriously:
- Obvioisly can't claim "#ChildProtection" if children ain't allowed!
But also:
- What kind of facist dystopia demands a child to have parental permission to go to a goddamn library?
As long as they ain't toddlers in need of care, noisy af or vandalizing inventory there's no reason to regulate how minors access a library.
- And even if said library contained explicitly sexual media for adults only, that can be fixed with a seperate section requiring a card to enter or getting buzzed in.
(Not that I've seen any library having porn in their inventory. Also gynecology & andrology literature obviously would rather get people to throw up/feel disgusted/bored than hard/wet/horny as soon as they get to STIs & STDs like fig warts, chlamydia and HPV...)
So I guess alongside allowing 18yr ods to get liquor and tobacco, 16yr olds beer and wine that allowing anyone able to obey the rules in a library makes Germany a total anarchist hellhole by US standards then?
- Good. Cuz if not mandatory SexEd that also covers LGBTQIA* is also the norm here...
