This was already discussed - the GOP has been astroturfing across the nation to infiltrate local school organizations and to manufacture and magnify "issues" to drive division and try to fearmonger up votes.

One of these GOP astroturfing organizations is based right here in the area. These are the people pushing these "issues".

So, because GOP doesn't want porn in the school, then it must be a good thing to have porn in the school?

This isn’t porn.

Sorry CRT didn’t work out for you either.

Who says the opposition to CRT-driven pedagogy hasn’t resonated? The majority of Americans now oppose it.

Of course that probably will lead the current FCPS School Board to double down on it.

Have you looked at the pictures from the graphic novel?

Graphic novel + sexual content <> porn

God, these kids are getting Lucy Calkins, no five-paragraph essay practice, no grammar, spelling or vocabulary, no book reports, no presentation skills or public speaking practice, plus this trash. Lost generation indeed.

As with any graphic novel, the illustrations are a form of visual storytelling.

The book Gender Queer is a story of someone sharing their journey of their self-identity. Some part of that is sexual.

Can anyone verify if this is true?

Really? Every graphic novel prominently features same-sex blow jobs?

I think that the vast majority of people who:
(1) link to daily caller
(2) push blatant lies
(3) try to ban books

are Trump supporters.

So, because you hate Trump supporters and think they are behind this, you will fight to keep extremely disturbing and harmful books in our schools.

Got it. Talk about "group think."

Get a grip. You sound exhausting. No one has been harmed by these book and the only disturbed people are a group of overprotective parents.

To Kill a Mockingbird triggered my sexual trauma in school. It was required reading and I had to write an essay on it. So there was no option and my parents didn’t know the book or of my sexual trauma so I felt I had no where to turn.

Sure, exposing kids to all the bad things that happen in the world can seem like you are doing them some good when they have this far lived rather carefree, but some kids have been exposed to this in real life not just on paper and don’t yet have the ability to even process it.

Having it on a bookshelf in a school library, a space that should feel safe, and coming across it accidentally or by required reading should not happen there. Not where they should feel safe and where they spend the majority of their youth.

On the flip side, I was sexually abused as a child and had no words for it and thought I was completely alone, a freak. I had no idea that other kids were experiencing the same thing and that there was nothing wrong with me, that it was not my fault, and that help was available. I am so happy that there are books now for kids that DO discuss sexual abuse because it would have helped me SO much to know that I was not alone. That isn’t the situation with Lawn Boy, but there are several books appropriate for elementary school that do include characters who experience sexual abuse and I am so glad they exist now.
