Sexually charged material already mocks christian values, so it's a two for one.
Do you want the public schools to have the students read books with sexually charged material?
Yes.
I read catcher in the rye when I was a young teenager as well as other books that discuss sexuality and sexual development. You know why they're interesting to kids? Because kids are in the process of maturing sexually and humans enjoy experiencing the views and opinions of others on a subject they are also interested in.
Just because some group of people find the idea of a cock entering a smooth, wet vagina (or indeed an ass hole) 'offensive to their religion' doesn't mean it should be banned. It means their views should either change, or they should shut the fuck up and let children experience everything that children should be allowed to experience.

It would probably happen less often, but it would still happen. I think we need to teach our kids the seriousness of the sexual act. That's not to tell them it's not pleasurable or fun, but to teach them the damage that can be done to children's lives because the parents weren't committed to loving and caring for a child that might result.
Oh so you mean your 'solution' to this problem is to simply lie to kids?
Well, that is the typical MO for theists, so I'm not surprised.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But when you start trying to get your superstitions enacted into law which impacts everyone you and I will have a problem.
A fucking big problem that they ultimately will lose.
