There are teachers in FCPS that are strongly opposed to the direction the board is going but dare not oppose it as it's been made clear to many of them that they will very likely lose their jobs if they do. They are required to spend valuable planning periods in their own indoctrination and then required to spend class time presenting social engineering propaganda to students - topics having no relation to the subjects they teach. Such a shame that a once great public school system has degenerated to such evil.

I was part of PABBIS (Parents Against BadBooks In Schools) many years ago. I spoke before the board and witnessed the often shouted “book banners” rhetoric thrown at any parents who dare to speak out. We read excerpts, things got highly emotional. I can’t believe how much worse it is now. But I’m not surprised. If the LGBTQ+ Community wants to be accepted, they need to call off the perverted authors who feel completely justified sexualizing children. It’s really about the sex, right LGBTQ?? That’s what this nonsense says about you. Fix it please.

The school district should keep the books where they are. Girls and boys in middle school should be allowed to read books such as this. The infantilization of girls and boys who are in middle school or high school is wrong.

Asra, we met at the meeting I was in the red and blue striped shirt. One point of correction, there was a small child in the audience. The first father that spoke had his daughter with him seat at the back of the auditorium, she was maybe seven. He covered her ears when the reading started and the left when the pictures came out. Ms. Cohen probably only saw them as they were leaving if she saw them at all.

Ms. Langton appears to be wearing a wedding ring and yet stands alone to protect her children against an evil regime. If you're wondering why everything is falling apart, it's because cowardly men keep sending their women in to fight the battles they themselves should be fighting. The books are disgraceful, no doubt, but the weak-willed men who hide from the fighting are equally as disgraceful. There is so much dishonor in our nation...

These are the same parents that give their kids cell phones in elementary school with access to the entire internet but they've made progress by getting these books banned, makes perfect sense. If parents only knew what their precious angels had access to online, I'm sure teachers and the school would be all for cell phones being banned from school where is that type of "courage" and "bravery"?

I’m an FCPS parent. I just bought both books for the purpose of discovering the context of the quoted passages. Assuming they were taken out of context by a bunch of self righteous pearl-clutchers, which the acclaim surrounding the books, the rhetoric of your post, and your opposition to critical race theory strongly suggest, I’m going to let my kids (high schoolers) read them if they want. Just because a book depicts a thing doesn’t mean the writer is promoting that thing.

“The illustrations include fellatio, sex toys, masturbation and violent nudity,”

What is "violent" nudity, exactly?
