Images Available in Virginia School Libraries Deemed Too Sexually Explicit for TV

Local Virginia TV stations including ABC, CBS and NBC have refused to air an ad depicting sexually explicit materials that are widely available to students in school libraries in the state, citing federal law which prohibits airing pornographic images.

“It’s shocking that images, and even some words, that federal law prohibits TV stations to share with adults are the same images being shared with Virginia students with no accountability,” said Victoria Coley, vice president of communications at Independent Women’s Voice (IWV), which created the ad.

The 30-second ad, titled “Worth 1,000 Words,” includes a full screen spread from Gender Queer by Maia Kobae, a book that was available in schools in several Virginia districts, including Fairfax, Loudon and Arlington, according to IWV.

IWV attempted to air the ad after 11 p.m. to show adults the shockingly explicit materials that students have access to in schools, but was told that federal law prohibits sharing pornographic images on air, even if they are aired late at night and for news purposes.

Wait until they discover pictures of American flags. If there are any left in Virginia public schools.

Funny, if it were SO acceptable to society like the left claims, they wouldn’t censor showing it.

Racist hypocritical liberal whites who don’t want to live among their Black brethren in DC are screwing Virginia.

Female librarians are some of the most aggressively left-leaning people there are. Their associations have fought for the "First Amendment right" of library users to view porn on library computers in front of everyone else in the room, and other aspects of this problem too filthy to describe on a family site.

So, the book was sanctioned by school employees. Then the school board should not have censored the concerned citizen and should not have limited his right to free speech.

Express concern at their school board meetings and you’ll get a visit from the FBI.

It started being exposed here:

Asra Q. Nomani @AsraNomani (Fairfax County VA, school district)

At last night’s @FCPSNews school board meeting, brave mom Stacy Langton revealed porn + pedophilia in library books. The board cut her mic + fled but I was able to record Stacy. Parents yelled, “Shame!” at the board for turning the county into #Fairfaxxx. No rest for @defendinged
