Le Guin believes that we should trust our children because


there is a reality which is dif f icult to be apprehended by a child's imagination and the adults guiding them should let only realist novels reach their hands, in order for this reality to properly unfold.
there is a dif ference clearer to children than to adults that tell them what they can or cannot read, the dif ference between what is real and what is not, between what is true and what is not.
there is no dif ference between a child who reads fantasy and an adult who reads fantasy, being both perfectly aware of the true ef fects that the fantastic may have upon them.
there is a dif ference between a childish approach to the fantasy genre and a mature approach to the genre which should be introduced to the discussions regarding what children should or should not read.
there is a clear connection between a child who is interested in the reality of our own world and an adult who dislikes fantasy novels and, therefore, forbids children from reading them.
