Should Parent's Choose What Their Child Reads?

Parents should not have the option of changing a child's book because a child needs to know how life works. The children need to know how the world other than schools and homes works, they don't always be Mormon or Christian and just follow their own religion. Sometimes parents need to let children make their own decisions, on some matters, like when it comes to school books and friends. Parents can't always monitor their children when they are at school, kids always get in trouble at some point in time.
The reason parents shouldn't treat kids like they need to protect them wherever the child goes will feel like your forcing yourself in their lives. This sometimes result and grouchy, angry behavior. I know I do not like it when my parents force themselves into my life asking a lot of questions. Some people need privacy, like parents don't want children to keep interrupting them when the adult is working. Parents should not choose what their children read because most things you cannot prevent, they will eventually make their own choices. Children need to learn to make choices from an earlier age than some parents agree for.
