Fairfax County Public Schools gives parents the double-barreled middle finger
American Thinker ^ | 26 Nov, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

The school doesn’t literally do that but its most recent action is equivalent to telling parents to “eff off.”

Distance learning exposed parents to two things: Critical Race Theory, which doggedly turns American schools into racial war zones, with innocent children painted as victims or victimizers, depending on race, and the push to normalize transgenderism. In Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), parents identified sexual grooming in two library books: Lawn Boy and Gender Queer: A Memoir, both of which have explicit homosexual sex and groom children for pedophilia. FCPS temporarily pulled the books, but it’s now reinstated them, which is the equivalent of a double-barreled middle finger at parents.

Fox News reports that the people who educate America’s children concluded that the books are fine because they are “affirming” for nascent LGBTQ+ students:

“Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison includes long sections of a boy reminiscing about explicit experiences he had at 10 years old and “Gender Queer: A Memoir,” by Maia Kobabe includes photos of sexual acts between a boy and a man.

Fairfax County Public Schools announced that it had restored the books to libraries after two committees reviewed them. One committee found that “Lawn Boy” includes themes that “are affirming for students” with marginalized identities. “There is no pedophilia in the book,” the committee added. The other committee found that “Gender Queer” depicts “difficulties nonbinary and asexual individuals may face.” The committee concluded that “the book neither depicts nor describes pedophilia.”

Stacy Langton, the first parent to confront the school board about the books—and to raise awareness about them—strongly disagrees with that conclusion:

Then someone should take a copy of Hustler, Playboy and every other sleazy magazine to a board meeting and tell them that those need to be included for the straight kids. S/c

Seems parents are fighting back against teachers and school boards across the country. Good!

As long as parents, particularly conservative parents, are willing to subject their kids to this crap, the schools will continue to do it, unabated, as shown here. While I can’t speak for all conservative parents, the ones who I work with make plenty of money to keep their kids out of these hell-holes, but simply cannot resist the fact that the schools are ‘free’ (since they pay the same taxes whether they use them or not).

So...why should the schools change? And why should parents expect them to change?

At a school board meeting, a parent was reading aloud from one of the books in question. It was horrible. The board members deemed it inappropriate and offensive. That was when the parent revealed it was from the school library. If the board reinstated these books after it was demanded they be removed it is time to get physical with these people. I am so tired of queers running the show. Time to sack up and do away with this.

“Gender Queer: A Memoir,” by Maia Kobabe includes photos of sexual acts between a boy and a man.

Isn't that the very definition of child pornography? Why don't they just report it to law enforcement? One count of child pornography against every teacher and school board member!

A very brave parent presented these images from the book to the school board, as to what they think is A-OK to make available to children:

(these are from the original article):

234067-5

Parent Stacy Langton stated:

Unless FCPS is using a different dictionary, pedophilia means adults having sex with children, and that is precisely what is being depicted in the particular panel in Gender Queer, Langton told Fox News in an interview on Tuesday.

You guys in the press have been in a quandary since you can’t broadcast the images because it violates FCC regulations, she said. The FCC says the materials can’t be broadcast because they’re obscene but FCPS says they’re not obscene. How does the committee come to the conclusion that these materials are not obscene when nobody can print them or broadcast them on a national level?

You nailed it.

When parents pull their kids out of public schools, that is how they tell the school system, "You don't do that B$ to my kids!"

What's the difference between these books, that include explicit cartoons of adult males and boys having sex, and child porn?

Will Merrick Garland deem those opposed to be domestic terrorists?

I prefer pine pitch and feathers. The colonists were very comical. I would sell my soul to see the school board running around like idiots, covered in feathers.

And no, the pine pitch was not usually boiling. It was just obnoxious and impossible to scrub off sticky sap.
