After libraries exposed pupils to graphic information, First Lady Jill Biden told NBC News on Tuesday that “all literature” should be in classrooms.
As the dispute among parents over what materials they want their children exposed to continues, the first lady said that it is un-American to forbid books from being kept in school libraries.
She said, “All books should be in the library. In America, we shouldn’t ban books.”
The first lady said that parents should collaborate with teachers to pick what subjects they wish to see included in their child’s curriculum when asked how much they should be engaged in their children’s education.
Parents may have been more aware of how hard teachers work and how challenging this profession is because of the pandemic, she said. “And I believe people should collaborate in their school districts and choose the curriculum they want.”
Two library books that were accessible to pupils as young as 12 years old and included child pornography and pedophilia drew a mother’s complaint to the Fairfax County Public school board.
The Fairfax High School and Robinson Secondary Schools’ libraries both had the two titles, “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe and “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison. The novels included pedophilia and illicit intercourse between men and young boys. The books were reinstated after a decision in November by Fairfax County Public Schools to “offer varied reading materials that represent the student demographic.”
“What if I told you that I touched the dick of another man? What if I told you that I was a loser? It’s true, but I was only 10 years old. The real estate agent, who works with Doug, and I both sucked dicks. The term “real estate guy” referred to a grown man.”
One sentence from “Gender Queer” allegedly said, “I can’t wait to have your cock in my mouth – I am going to give you the blow job of your life. I want you inside of me then.”
In January, a committee of the school board and the superintendent of the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) decided to ban “Gender Queer” from the library.
For kids in kindergarten through third grade, a Massachusetts public school also suggested summer reading materials regarding “white privilege” and “whiteness” in 2021.
