A pastor in Florida was forcibly removed from a school board meeting when he attempted to read aloud pornographic passages from a book that was available to children.
The man was one of around 30 parents at the Monday meeting at the Indian River County School Board.
Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. began to read from the book titled 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, but he only got one sentence in before the board shut him down.
“As if letting him finger me was going to cure all my problems,” the pastor read, prompting one board member to yell into the microphone “Sir, I’ll stop you there.”
Amanchukwu’s mic was then cut off and security was called as he attempted to continue to read.
Watch:
GRAPHIC: A citizen read from a pornographic book available to students in @IRCSchools and was SHUT DOWN by the board then REMOVED by security.
Too graphic for the board to hear but perfectly ok for middle schoolers!

As Fox News reports, other parents at the meeting were also cut off when reading from different books, all available to school children.
However, Governor Ron DeSantis instituted a rule earlier in the year that that states parents “shall have the right to read passages from any material that is subject to an objection.”
The rule also decrees that if parents are prevented from doing so then the materials they are objecting to must be immediately removed and discontinued from use in the school.

Indian River County School Board member Jacqueline Rosario told Fox News that she was the only member to vote to remove the books last year and that until the new rule was instantiated, other board members ignored laws on pornographic, obscene, or sexually explicit content and continued to make the books available in school libraries.
“The difference now is, HB 1069 has allowed parents to read explicit books at board meetings. And if they get shut down, then the book is immediately removed. This is a good thing,” Rosario noted.
“It is the litmus test for acceptable age appropriate and standards driven library books. If you can’t read them at a board meeting, then you can’t have them in our schools. All that is needed now is for a “passage” to be read and the book can be removed immediately,” she continued.
Rosario added that “The superintendent and board members refused to acknowledge the gross content made available to kids until now. Finally, they don’t have a choice. It’s about time the truth be made known. Explicit, sexually graphic, pornographic, and obscene material does not belong in any school.”

The School Board was elected by parents that reside in Indian River County. If they want their children to read and kook at pornography in school. So be It. If they do not want their children reading and looking at pornography Do not reelect these school board members. If that Preacher had told the, to use the term very loosely, “lady “, running the meeting he was a drag queen, she would had given him the Key to the City.
Because that projects a poor image of the otherwise “free State of Florida”.
But you already knew that.
If that is what it takes to get into the meeting so that they can read those passages and be stopped by the board (which automatically means those items have to be removed from use,
Small price to pay for victory
We have a very sensible law now down here. If the book cannot be read at school board meetings because members are offended at the theme or language it is deemed inappropriate for children and must be removed.
That is why I don’t want DeSantis to be running for President r to be president. We need him down her. It does not matter who the Republican candidate is the election system belongs to the Democrats and their candidate will “win” probably with some absurd ration of “votes.” The Republic is gone. It is up to State governors and citizens to begin to wall off the remaining rational States from the Federal government as much as possible. A big start would be refusing refusable federal funds for anything at all.
“2021 story offered “
my bad ... I thought both pics were current ..
That should have 10 million+ views, and would if Google/YouTube hadn’t been suppressing it.
I love it and have been posting it every now and then for the last 3 years.
That was my question as well.
Gotta keep exposing filth on the kids... and sadly local law enforcement steps up to help with the filth??
Banned for reading something at a school board meeting? Isn’t that why citizens have freedom of speech?
Someone on another thread summed it up nicely: If it’s too vulgar to read at a school board meeting, it’s too vulgar to be in the school library.
Indian River County has voted for the Republican Presidential candidate in every election since 1944, even in the Goldwater debacle in 1964. In 2020, Trump carried the county by 21 percentage points. The political scene in Indian River County is clearly conservative. There appear to be numerous evangelical and Catholic private schools in the county, which tend to attract the most conservative parents. The main problem is that the Republican voters do not pay much attention to local politics, resulting in leftists, sometimes stealth liberals, taking positions on school boards and city councils.
They are elected ... most voters stay home ...
Hypocrites!
Was kind of too late at night for that kind of formatting in the post hehe.
It’s an old story being recycled. Maybe the OP liked hearing the passages.
Thanks. I have bit on quite a few of them. In fact, I bit on this one. Have to be more careful in the future. Again, thank you.
