An Illinois teacher of over 20 years had the cops called on her after she gave her middle school students the option of reading a book about sexuality and gender.
Sarah Bonner held a “book tasting” for students in March and offered an array of fiction and nonfiction titles including Juno Dawson’s “This Book Is Gay,” which quickly became the epicenter of a massive controversy when parents called the police over the book choice.
“I wanted to give them a smattering of fiction and nonfiction to choose from on a day that we call ‘Reading Monday,'” Bonner told Today.com. “We just read and celebrate books.”
Bonner, 42, learned that parents had gotten hold of pictures their eighth-graders snapped on their phones of the book during class.
The parents filed a police report against the teacher for child endangerment.
“The notion that I was putting children in danger because of books — I didn’t feel safe,” Bonner told Today. “I knew I couldn’t go back.”
The best-selling nonfiction book has been promoted by publishers as an informational guide for “everyone, regardless of gender or sexual preference.” It is also the ninth-most banned book in America, according to Publishers Weekly.
The day after she learned of the police report, Bonner received a letter saying she had been placed on administrative leave at Heyworth Junior High School.
The letter, which was reviewed by Today, said the district “recently became aware of certain allegations” against Bonner and was investigating. Until the investigation was complete, Bonner was told “not to perform any duties for the school district.”
Instead, Bonner decided to resign.

The parents are now on the FBI “most wanted” list.
No. You want to groom and corrupt children, you monster.
Good! As a parent, I hope that we can all accomplish the same with every single teacher that attempts to introduce perversion and homosexual sex in the classroom
Good, parents need to do this kind of thing nation wide. Drag this trash into the light.
She looks “happy”.
What’s the relevant statute I can cite if they pull this crap at my kids’ school? Obscenity? Child endangerment?
There are state and Federal statutes against giving pornography to minors.

Time to punish these people.
Fantastic!!
“I didn’t feel safe” said teacher Sarah Bonner
As if many of the kids felt “safe” having that crap on the reading list. As if then parents of those kids felt “safe” sending their kids off to this grotesque pervert.
In Junior High School back in fall of 1964 to spring of 1966 (7th and 8th grades), I remember reading Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” Rawlings “The Yearling,” and Edith Hamilton’s “Mythology.” We had quite a few other books of similar caliber and difficulty (I wish I had our reading list). Our teachers really pushed us back then.
Surprisingly, there were no books about “social action,” butt forking, carpet munching or trannies.
Thanks. I started looking and my state exempts libraries https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.68.100
That picture explains so much.
Notice how eyes above stupid masks almost always look Karenishly angry or frightened.
That was not the controversial book.
An Illinois teacher of over 20 years“
So this evil woman has been poisoning kids for two decades. An army of her ilk have brainwashed an entire generation and now they are getting control
Federal law does not exempt them.

All groomers should be jailed.
Heyworth Junior High is in Heyworth, Illinois. Central Illinois. Just south of Bloomington and northwest of Champaign. Sadly, the loser writer failed to even mention where Heyworth is located. I had to eff around on googill based on info from the stupid photo caption. Such shitty writing.
Upshot is that there are still good solid people in Illinois. This dopey teacher excluded. However, this could land her a job as a principal in any govt. school in Cook County.
Coward.
She got caught. She is no better than a man who gave a child a playboy magazine or a pornographic video.
She is an endangerment to children and possibly a sexual child groomer but plays the victim — she couldn’t go back and face the parents for what she did to their children.
