Yeah, I'll just have to agree will y'all in the fact that our value systems are vastly different. I will NEVER agree that these two topics are appropriate for a middle school library. Also this country was founded as a Christian country with religious freedom. Bone up on your history. You don't have to like the truth or even acknowledge it nowadays...but it's still the truth.
