I have a question that may or may not be possible to be covered by a poll, but I will try :)
When in school, in the range between 6 and 14 years of age, if you had specific books or stories assigned as parts of curriculum of literature, how big a percentage of them were from your language/country/regional culture, and how many branched out?
For example, to explain what I mean. In Poland, for "Polish language" we get A LOT of compulsory items to read. Among these are books written for the specific age group in Polish AND ALSO relevant books translated from other countries. At least when I was at school (80s-90s) we had "Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn" (Swedish), "A Pál utcai fiúk" (Hungarian), with also "Pippi Långstrump" and "Hobbit" being an option. "Anne of Green Gables" was on the list, and I think "Secret Garden", too. Some stories translated from Russian were nearly a given, since I started primary school in 1985, but I managed to successfully delete them from my brain.
So, what was it like for you?
(I'm trying to cover also the option of eg British books being read in US, AU and other EN-speaking countries, so option 4 is about that; but also if you're reading books from Spain in Latin America or books from France in countries where French is one of main languages....)
Please share for wider response pool. I'm really curious how it happens in other countries. If you add some option I did not cover, please hint at a language/country :)

Was complaining about how weird it is that my LGBTQ lit professor used books from every era and facet of queer history except AIDS and one of my underclassmen classmates genuinely asked me why AIDS is a queer issue OPEN THE SCHOOLS OH MY GOD

My other opinion is that anyone who says "Kids and young people shouldn't read XYZ because it contains ABC" should be chained in a dungeon and only allowed to read a curriculum of my choosing for 7 to 10 business days.
This is a pointlessly punitive stance, but it is mine.

It’s absolutely ridiculous how Norwegian parent networks will just uncritically adopt the claims and talking points of American parent networks completely neglecting the specific national educational and political context. How utterly embarrassing to go out on national television and say “pride has no place in schools because ideology and politics have no place in schools they should be apolitical” when you have a child in an education system with a curriculum that is explicitly political.
