New York City education Department defends including book featuring pornography in school libraries

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.

It goes back farther to 1960 when Madalyn Murray O’Hair was rejected for emigration to the Soviet Union. So she had to put her kids in a US school, and it burned her up to wait a few minutes due to morning devotionals.
so she sued and got religious teaching thrown out.

She met her end in 1995 when her Atheist “friends” came for her, strangled her and her adult kids, cut them into pieces and buried them in the Texas desert.

So much important literature in the last 600 years has been written from a Christian Culture perspective that without knowing the basics of Christianity you will not understand the Great Books.

Is THAT what happened to Madalyn? OMG!! What a nightmare.
Some would call it Poetic Justice.

masturbation leads to narcissistic behavioral problems.

that’s another reason to prohibit pornography — I’ve heard several reports of it being placed where kids play

FWIW wikipedia has David Banks as the current Chancellor.

There are people actively advocating against “transitioning”. One place to start is Walt Heyer’s site
