My Mary Poppins Bag of Age-Inappropriate Books
Images from the books not appropriate for K-12 kids
A list of age-inappropriate books for children in K-12 and illustrations of their age-inappropriate content.
In “Call me Max,” about a girl kindergartner of about five years of age who identifies as a boy, the narrator laments on page five, “When a child grows up to be transgender, it means that the grown-up who said they were a boy or a girl made a mistake,” and, by page 28, “Max” sits in a support circle with other five-year-olds confessing their new gender identities.
“Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness” walks through the awokening of a white girl of about eight to this epiphany about “white people” on page 58: “WHITENESS IS A BAD DEAL. It always was.” Next to an image of the devil is a contract labeled: “Contract Binding you to WHITENESS. You get: stolen land, stolen riches, special favors.” On the last page, page 64, she learns, “Innocence is overrated.” Psychologists have a word for such books pushed by adults into the hands of kids not mature enough to handle the concepts: “grooming.”
“Gender Queer,” the confessions of a girl who wants to be a boy. Beyond the sexually explicit language, it comes with illustrations of a naked bearded man on page 135 on his knees hand-massaging the penis of a boy who clutches the back of the man’s head, and, on page 167, a boy gives oral sex to a girl with a strap-on penis.
In“Let’s Talk About It,” on page 164, children are instructed, “A great place to research fantasies and kinks safely is on the internet,” and, on page 152, they are given tips on how to share “naughty masterpieces” online.
The very reality that you are a fan of Mary Poppins shows that you are complaining about things being viewed as appropriate for children when you don't feel they are when you yourself view something as appropriate for children when it isn't. I think that you should be glad that Mary Poppins is still considered appropriate for children when as well as being a terrible film for many reasons, like that it is extremely boring, cheesy and corny, it involves Mary Poppins saying "Spit Spot" so often that it is annoying, Dick Van Dyke doing a terrible attempt at a cockney accent, it being too long a movie, including songs which hurt my ears, children who are so well behaved that they are boring, Mr Banks being constantly gloomy and Mrs Banks tolerating his Sexism despite being involved with feminism and also insulting men [which gives the message that this is what feminism is about], it shows Mary Poppins becoming the nanny for a family because she bullies other ones out of the way and arrogantly claiming that she is perfect, it also shows Mary Poppins being extremely distant with children and gaslighting them. Nobody claims that it is inappropriate for children [although I think that it is inappropriate for everybody] so if you are a fan of Mary Poppins then there is a probably a lot else which by your logic is appropriate for children. I'm not saying that nothing else is inappropriate for children, just that I'm not sure if you are a good judge of that yourself.
Did you do sufficient research to see if this is true? This book looks fake.
