If there are "dangerous books", you should read them with the kid. Make your own emotional reactions and counterarguments visible. If you've acquired some immunity to these texts, the right thing to do is attempt to communicate the immunity, not to introduce some kind of censorship.

I agree completely with this position. However, since I expected it to be the position of many here, I wanted to ensure that the alternative was at least available for commenters to attack and defend.
