Joe Biden is illegally blocking parents from removing sexually explicit books from school libraries. In conjunction with that, he is also forcing a DEI Library code of conduct on schools that prevent the removal of pornographic and age-inappropriate sexual material. The administration is usurping parents’ rights to decide what is not age appropriate in a library.
Biden and his ‘advisers’ are bullying parents into keeping sexually explicit material in school libraries. In other words, the State will decide when children must be exposed to it, not the parents.
THE TAKEOVER The assault began with an investigation of Forsyth County Public Schools (FCPS) outside of Atlanta. The school district flagged inappropriate sexual material.
If you read the excerpts, you won’t be able to dispute the district’s reasonable standard. The federal government is disputing it and ignoring parental rights.
The Feds said the school’s standards created a hostile environment based on race and sex. Race never even entered into any of it, but the Feds said it anyway.
To avoid a serious confrontation with and sanctions from the Feds, the school district entered into an unlawful resolution agreement with OCR (Office of Civil Rights). One troubling provision requires the school district to ‘voluntarily’ issue a statement reassuring students “that the District strives to provide a global perspective and promote diversity” in curating its library catalog.
They must worship at the altar of globalism and DEI, a far-left ideology. It’s the law of the Bidenistas alone. No such law is on the books.
“On June 8, the White House made clear that the FCPS matter was not an isolated investigation, announcing that OCR will appoint a new “coordinator” to warn state and local education agencies that heeding parents’ calls to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries could trigger the agency’s enforcement authority, including the withholding of federal funding,” Paul Zimmerman writes at The Federalist.
Paul Zimmerman is the Policy Counsel at the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies.
As Zimmerman states, the real civil rights issue is the chilling of the First Amendment.
Of course, parents have the right to excise these books from the school libraries. Read the entire piece at The Federalist.

When we say ‘President Biden,’ we assume everyone knows he’s a figurehead for the operators behind the curtain.
Chomo Joe gonna chomo.
Demonrats are SICK human beings
PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
It used to be that if the district refused any type of Federal money they could maintain there independence. But now it appears that Biden and his groomers have used civil rights law to overcome local independence. These people use the law to control everything.
He can still read?
It’s a mystery why Joe would want this type of material in school libraries, not.
STOP pedophile biden!!!!
“Sound of Freedom!!!!”
Pop-up books.....................
Pedos hire other pedos and you get pedo policies. They’re from the government and they’re coming for the children.
In the Bill of Rights, the 10th Amendment states “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The federal government has little control over education, mostly ensuring the right to education and providing federal funding. However, the federal government has little input on the educational process. The 10th Amendment establishes education as a function of the states.
State governments hold a variety of responsibilities when pertaining to the operation of public education. For example, every state decides the qualifications required for someone to become a teacher. Every state has its own assessments in which to review school performance, and state bodies are responsible for producing and grading these exams. In the school curriculum for each subject, state bodies decide the standards that teachers must adhere to. Overall, state governments are the managers of their districts’ public education system. But when pertaining to the day-to-day operations of individual schools, that duty falls on local government and school boards.
The only power under the feds is they can mandate laws. A mandate is the power granted to a person or body to exercise authority on various matters affecting a jurisdiction or populace. However, if the local government says no the buck stops there.
The hold the feds have over the states is a perceived control of funding from the feds that can be withdrawn by them. But that only comes to 7.9% of educational needs for K through 12 in the U.S. Yet the states allow this to happen.
The 6th Circuit found that the First Amendment protects the right of the students to receive information and that a decision to remove the books from the school library was unconstitutional. As for the SCOTUS, the Pico case of 1982 comes into focus as 4 said no, 4 said yes, and 1 said send it back to lower courts. It went back.
The feds don’t have the authority unless the local schools let them.

The first State to mandate that Federal Employee’s enroll their children in the Public School System or face Felony Prosecution for Child Abuse, including removing the Children from the home and putting them in Foster Care, will stop this crap overnight
Will he make Chelsea Clinton Czar of Sex Books ? LOL

Do you have evidence that he once had that skill?
This old bastard needs a beating like no bodys business.
OMG … thought this HAD to be the Bee.
Lord, please help us!

So old joe DOES understand that part of his job is to destroy parental rights and to eliminate the family, with the government stepping in to replace it.
He’s not so senile after all.
