These People Want Your Kids: Dems Object to GOP Rep Reading LGBT Propaganda for Pre-Teens, Claim It's Not Appropriate for Adult Audience
The Western Journal ^ | 02/26/2026 | C. Douglas Golden

The people who want to indoctrinate your children in public schools and libraries would like you to know that the LGBT propaganda they want to lay on them isn’t appropriate for adult settings.

During a hearing in the Minnesota Senate which ended up going viral for all the wrong reasons, a Democrat called a Republican member out for reading from a book he said was in the teen section and recommended for kids as young as 12.

The reason? It wasn’t appropriate for state lawmakers, obviously.

The viral footage was taken from a hearing of the Education Finance Committee of the Minnesota Senate, where librarians were testifying on Wednesday about the library ecosystem in the state.

That included a book available in several libraries brought in by Minnesota State Sen. Michael Holmstrom called “This Book Is Gay.” This book is recommended for kids as young as 12, he said, including at some of the public libraries run by several of the people who had testified during the hearing.

“This book, among other things, it recommends to young children how to flirt in gay bars, it recommends to children how to enter into non-consensual sexual relationships,” Holmstrom said, before reading from an especially graphic section of the book.

The democrats were not upset it was being read, they were upset it was being exposed.

I am in the Arizona State Senate. It happened on Tuesday here as well. A GOP Senator read from a school library book that was just xxx. The dems called uncle, which is just what we wanted. Can’t read it here, should not be in a school library.. It was pretty damn dirty.

Someone should introduce a bill that bans public schools from exposing prepubescent children from ALL sexual content and material. Then we’ll see who votes against it and know who the Jeffrey Epsteins in Congress.

The only thing that they reject to is the information becoming public. Evil loves darkness and shadows and dies in the light.

Had a bit of a go around with someone over "appropriate" books.

He was ranting about how there was no real legal definition of "obscenity" and so to label a book obscene was just because parents did not want to let their children know about sex because they did not want to let them grow up.

I let him go on for a bit and, when he had wound down, asked him about non-sexual obscene books. He blinked at me when I said that the most obscene book I knew of that should never be read to a child contained no sex at all. Not even obliquely.

Finally curiosity got the better of him and he asked what book I was talking about and I said it was "the Rainbow Fish" because it told children that if someone was beautiful or talented in any way the right thing to do was punish them until they let you tear them apart and wear a bit of their talent or beauty as a trophy that you had destroyed something lovely. And they did this through a bunch of very pretty pictures which made it even more horrible.

He looked a bit like a fish himself when I said that.

Why am I telling people about this?

Because there are more books other there that should not be available to children then the ones about sex.

We have to start reading and THINKING about what lessons are being taught though story because that is how humans, especially human children, learn.

I an old guy invited a bunch of preteens into his house and read that filth to them he would be arrested and charged. Why can teachers get away with this evil crap? Where are the police? What cowards.

Exactly, but they virtue signal by pretending they have some moral objections to what they’re foisting on the kids.

I noticed the Gates foundation gave 75k to a local library out here in the sticks of Ohio. I have often wondered if there isn’t some “strange” books in the kiddie section. Check these foundation grants for your own state and counties.
