I didn't realize until Jake said, and it was just
confirmed, that hate speech was to be marked Adult. I
hadn't come across any like that, but I'm glad to hear
it, but also glad to hear that parents can arrange for
their teenagers to have access to a particular book or
to any book at all if they feel they are mature
enough.
When my girls were in their preteens, I wouldn't let
them watch All in the Family, because I didn't want
them to hear some of the language or to get the idea
that Archie Bunker's opinions were o.k. Also, I think
my husband was wrong in this, he wouldn't let them see
Grease, when they were 7 and 8, because he didn't
want them to get the idea that it was good to change
and conform just for the sake of others. Maybe he and
a point. I do think teenagers are less impressionable
and more able to distinguish right from wrong, and
satire from seriousness, at least with parental
discussions.
