Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton faced accusations of pushing “pornography” for schoolchildren after she came out against “bans” of sexually explicit pro-LGBTQ materials in schools nationwide.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Clinton declared “over 50% of the attempted book bans last year involved books with LGBTQ+ characters & themes,” though she made no note of the explicit nature of such publications.
Describing books as “a vital way that children, adolescents and adults learn about themselves and our world,” the former presidential daughter insisted that “bans such as these are nothing but harmful.”
In the post, Clinton shared a recent NBC piece that laments how “attempts to ban books have reached a record high, and titles with LGBTQ themes remain top targets.”
The essay cites Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, who argues the “LGBTQ-heavy” list of challenged books conveys a message of “exclusion.”
“It’s a way of telling young gay and transgender persons that they don’t belong in school, that they don’t belong to the community,” she said. “It sends a message to the LGBTQ community as a whole that they’re not considered full citizens with full rights to participate in community institutions like the library.”

I added keyword porn4kids years ago, because I kept running across articles about porn in school libraries.
Excellent point.
