New York City education Department defends including book featuring pornography in school libraries
The Post Millenial ^ | 03/13/2022 | Libby Emmons

Posted on 03/13/2022 9:39:42 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The argument from the NYC Dept. of Education, under Schools Chancellor David Brooks, is that Maia Kobabe's "Gender Queer" "is well written," and that "Students with a similar experience will feel affirmed."

A New York mom reached out to the New York City Department of Education to find out why a book featuring child pornography was allowed in the libraries of New York City public schools and to ask for it to be reconsidered for inclusion in the collection. The response she got was that it is both appropriate and beneficial for students to have graphic sexual imagery featured in the library collection. "Why is there child pornography in NY School Libraries?" she asked. When she issued the query, she provided graphic images culled from the book. The DOE, in looking at these images, say that the "book neither depicts or describes pedophilia, child rape, or desensitizes to predators."

The book in question, Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer: A Memoir, is a coming of age story about a girl who grows up with hippie parents, finds herself at odds with the rest of school culture, has trouble with puberty, and fantasizes about having a penis. The book even talks about finding books in the library that encouraged the main character to pursue gender identity exploration.

"Why is this graphic pornographic and grooming text in the NY school libraries?" the New York City mom asks. "Our family has been harmed by gender ideology and pornography in schools, leading to three hospitalizations and a suicide attempt. Transition was not therapeutic and yet everywhere we turn, there is more propaganda pushing our children towards transition. There are no resources on detransition. Why is this?" she asks, desperate for help for her own child before the child comes to worse harm.

Ask School Chancellor David Brooks what he thinks about the Christian Bible being displayed in the library, or Bible Groups being held after school within the building?

Funny how Christians are never affirmed.

Yep. Officially, Christians are neither affirmed or validated or tolerated as worthwhile individuals.
I could see the slow rise of this brand of prejudice way back in the early 1990’s.

Public schools appear to have only one objective. Turn American kids into sexually disoriented, little perverted meatballs because that’s where we are at.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

You only think you’re ok. But you’re not.

Someone that chooses to live in NYC is shocked by this?

LOL!

"Grooming" alone is too soft, sounds like a person who likes neat hair. It requires extra explanation, so it's weak and can be dodged. It's vague unless you are already part of our side.

Instead, call them PEDO-GROOMERS.

This makes the point that you don't have to be a pedophile to be a pedo-groomer. You can even be a "respectable" school board member, school principal or politician. If you support perverted crap like drag-queen story hour, or homo-porn in the libraries, you are a pedo-groomer, even if you never touch a child. Stick this label on them at every point. It sticks like napalm and it burns.

“Omg. The world ends. not. I read ‘the Joy of Sex’ when I was 7 or 8, and the old book store ladies could have not cared less”

So, did you find it on your own, or was it left out for you by a pedo-groomer?

Do you now leave stuff like that out for 7 year olds to find?

If so, YOU ARE A PEDO-GROOMER.

Based on your thumbs-up to 7 year olds reading/seeing Joy of Sex, it’s almost a certainty that you are a PEDO-GROOMER.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. In junior-high school the old lady librarian censored it.

You were groomed and it worked. Now you don’t see the problem anymore.

Having a book like that in school sixty years ago would have gotten the student thrown out for having pornography. Also a call to the parents.

We will really need those Nuremberg trials after this is all over. Pushing porn on kids should be a hanging offense among decent people.
