    If I’ve misunderstood the message, and others have too (it isn’t generally well liked, except in certain circles, usually called at least ‘controversial’), then we can be sure that anyone writing such material shouldn’t be a teacher, and certainly children shouldn’t be exposed to it

    Um, what? This logic could be applied to critical race theory about as easily as you’ve applied it here to Lolita. Way to prove that you really are a puritan.

      sure, if critical race theory were child abuse, and if the author were a Russian aristo who fled to the US when the commies won. I suppose any logic can be applied to anything if we ignore what’s actually being discussed.

      It really isn’t puritan to dislike Lolita and I think if you think that connection you’ve made through you’ll see why.

        So, writing anything that multiple people misunderstand and find offensive, especially if it can be called ‘controversial,’ is an automatic disqualification from teaching, got it. Makes perfect sense, and I’m not at all deeply disappointed to see multiple hexbears upvote this horrifically bad take.
