If you can't provide it then you should be asking yourself why not.

They are available in some HS libraries. Or they were when this whole thing first blew up.

Not going to point out which ones because the religious nutters will go attack those schools.

So the book was found in 2 libraries and the far right is going ballistic and is passing all kinds of laws criminalizing libraries.

But hundreds of mass shootings and kids being blasted to pieces in their schools and they don't give a damn and refuse to do a single thing.

They certainly have distorted priorities.

Violence is fine. Gay sex is not.

Don't subscribe to the NYT, it's paywalled. And even so it's probably still anecdotal. Do better. Show some actual data showing how many schools ordered that book for their students. I only trust data, not your "feelings" or your factless anecdotes.

Until you show some actual data all you have are factless claims.

PP, I (not a book banner) posted the entire NYT article upthread. You can read it there. Nobody paid any attention to the book until the so-called Moms for Liberty somehow came across it and decided that 2 or 3 out-of-context drawings would be the very thing to further their campaign against LGBTQ people and public schools.

"This spring, after a member of Moms For Liberty [sic] submitted a complaint about “Gender Queer” to the Wappingers Central School District in upstate New York, the book was removed from a high school library. It had never been checked out. A committee of teachers, parents and educators reviewed it, and determined that it was not inappropriate and should be returned. The superintendent, citing sexually explicit images, overruled the committee and brought the issue to the school board, which voted unanimously to uphold the ban."

One. Single. Copy.

Which NOBODY ever even checked out.

Color me underwhelmed at the threat.

The poster who keeps replying "yabut the book exists" and keeps whining "you're a troll" when asked to prove how widespread the book is - is now revealed to be a complete failure.

"Moms for Liberty" somehow "found" the book. What are the chances of far right wing activists just happening to stumble upon that particular book in some random school library. I'd give it 1:1,000,000 odds. Higher odds if one of them brought it in their purse to plant it before "finding" it. Hate to be cynical but the far right "anti-woke" is so far off the rails these days I wouldn't put anything past them.

^^^The whole "Moms for Liberty" thing is doublespeak to begin with. There's nothing liberty about banning books.

So I guess you're (deliberately) ignoring this part:

The award brought “Gender Queer” to the attention of librarians across the country, who often look to such prizes when deciding what books to order. High schools and some middle school libraries around the country began stocking it.

The book was banned in dozens of school districts and removed from libraries across the country, including Alaska, Iowa, Texas and Pennsylvania.

No worries. We're all used to you lying through your teeth in order to discredit reality.

So, it's an award-winning book, which many school librarians chose to add to their school's library, but you find one or two drawings in this book, completely out of context, to be indefensibly shocking, and therefore it should be unavailable in any school library (or maybe any library at all).

You're not going to stop with this book, and you're not going to stop with books. Everyone knows that. In fact, some of the people advocating for banning books on LGBTQ topics have already moved on to advocating for banning the existence of LGBTQ people.

Guess we know how to shut up the MAGAs.

Ask them to explain a book.

And so far, with all this supposed attention, only ONE copy found in all of New York State, which nobody ever even checked out, plus (maybe) another one found at some unspecified location in Iowa, though that article was pretty dodgy and completely lacked any specifics whatsoever, just a handful of photos of what looked like an unused copy of the book.

Whatever dude. I remain profoundly underwhelmed and do not find the hysteria compelling.

All this defense of graphic porn for kids is just so demonic. It's scary how many are affected.

Well, the Bible does say for God's followers to "Come ye out from under them, and be ye separate." The "remnant seed" that's left.

You sound unhinged. You're ranting about one book in one library, which nobody ever even checked out.

What does the Bible say about you being totally and completely accepting of the mass murder of children brutally gunned down in school after school?
