It seems that some people will call educational material found in encyclopedias and medical books porn. I guess it is personal opinion, but I would rather have my children take (they never needed to because as they questioned we answered) an educational human sexuality book out of the library than get incorrect information from peers. Who decides what "porn" IS, anyway? Many people consider good art porn, yet don't seem to mind that their children watch violence in movies and TV. Censorship by "third parties" is wrong. If these parents object to this material, that's their right, but someone who has no connection to this child, has absolutely NO right.
This is a bit different but gets to the point: As a young girl (8-9 years old) I attempted to take books from the library that were (God forbid  ) from the "adult" section because I didn't choose to read kiddy books. I wanted to read biographys about Florence Nightingale and other figures in history. I was denied by the library because those were "adult" books. (I know this is a different case...just for example purposes)
