Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think a lot depends on life experiences. But I've always said life is rated R, so why would I want to expose myself to more trash in my chosen entertainment?
On another tangent, I have different standards for educational purposes. I'll read/watch something for education that I wouldn't for entertainment. It's a different approach (the first is active, the second passive), and I get different things out of both.
In L'Engle's case, it did surprise me that she's put some garbage in her books because most of her books are quite clean. For some reason she felt the need to add certain content to only some of her book, though.
