Virginia Public Schools Reinstates Two Books Despite Complaints of Pedophilia and Pornography

Fairfax County Public Schools has reinstated two books despite complaints from parents that the literature depicted and legitimized obscene and pedophilic material. Parents confronted the school board with the graphic images contained in the books beginning in September. Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) announced the books were restored to libraries after two committees reviewed them.

The books, “Lawn Boy” and “Gender Queer” have been determined by the District as helpful to the LGBTQ community. Fox News reports “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison includes long sections of a boy reminiscing about explicit experiences he had at 10 years old. “Gender Queer: A Memoir” is by Maia Kobabe and includes photos of sexual acts between a boy and a man.

Virginia mother and president of Parents Defending Education, Nicole Nelly, told Fox News last week, “It’s appalling that Fairfax County’s response to parental feedback is to quibble over the definition of ‘pedophilia’ and to shame and denigrate families who are concerned about this material.”

“By attempting to normalize this content – and reinstating these books under cover of darkness right before Thanksgiving break – FCPS has demonstrated that in their eyes, parental input is a bug, not a feature, in the system” added Nelly.

In an interview with Fox News, Stacy Langton, one of the mothers who first confronted the school board, says “plenty” of Democrats and liberals are also calling her to say they “don’t want their kids exposed to this in school…this is FCPS coming out and explicitly saying they are in favor of porn in schools for your children.”

FCPS, however, claims that two committees comprised of school administrators, librarians, parents, and students determined that the books did not contain pedophilia, nor did they violate regulations by including obscene material.

“The decision reaffirms FCPS’s ongoing commitment to provide diverse reading materials that reflect on our student population, allowing every child an opportunity to see themselves reflected in literary characters” said FCPS in a released statement.

“Both reviews concluded that the books were valuable in their potential to reach marginalized youth who may struggle to find relatable literary characters that reflect their personal journeys” the statement continued.

Michael Sabbeth, Colorado attorney and author of “The Good, The Bad & The Difference: How to Talk With Children About Values” says “the Board’s assertion cleverly employs a logical fallacy—a strawman argument.”

While the board’s “refutation alleges the material affirms students with ‘marginalized identities’ and acknowledges the ‘difficulties nonbinary and asexual individuals may face’, their justification ignores and fails to negate allegations of obscenity, pornography and or pedophilia” states Sabbeth.

“Ironically, the Board’s justification demeans those it alleges to support. If, for example, pedophilia is in a book, arguing it helps youngsters is morally beneath contempt. To virtuously support those individuals, the Board need do no more than advance this unambiguous message: Treat all people respectfully” Sabbeth concludes.

    We had the same book, Gender Queer in our school library . Our school district has this available to 6-8 9-12!!! The parents, grandparents and others bombarded the district, it was removed for about one week. The Library Media Specialist deemed it just fine and guess what? It’s back on the shelf! We are a tiny district about 50 miles north of NYC. A very conservative town. 90% of our school board has lost their minds. We have had an influx of progressives in the last year. Our district K- 12 has about 950 students. We feel helpless and are wondering if law enforcement can confiscate the pirn

      The immediate solution is not rocket science. REMOVE YOUR CHILDREN FROM THE SCHOOL !
      While you are standing around wringing your hands wondering ‘what to do’ your children are being damaged and defiled.

      How about you guys get together and hire a competent lawyer and sue those responsible? Crying over something like this accomplishes nothing. It is time to fight back. How about weekly marches in front of the school or the board offices? The time has come to fight back, and get out of your lethargy and learned helplessness. And teach your children, by george, you must take an active part against this brainwashing.. if you do it right it will backfire on the culprits.

    Gee, I remember a time when porn, of any type, written or depicted, was illegal to possess in a school or on it’s property. When child porn was illegal to possess, written or depicted, anywhere and if caught with it, made you subject to jail time. Thanks to the left, that’s all been changed and our kids are now subjects for the depraved to accost.

    You are not dealing with ‘people’, you are dealing with minions of the devil. The orders come down from him, and to them, those orders are paramount. YOU mean nothing. Destroy society, destroy freedom, destroy families, destroy the U.S., etc., THAT is all that matters to the devil. “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing”. Doing ‘something’ means to pray AND stand firm for what is RIGHT ….. and not leave it up to someone else.

    This school district is pushing child sexual exploitation and they should be charged with crimes.

    I believe school boards are elected. This board is obviously composed of a majority of sexual perverts. Perhaps at a little more attention next election. Few things are more important than educating our children. Look how education has failed the current board.

      The school board should most certainly be voted OUT.
      But in the meantime, children are being damaged and defiled and need to be REMOVED NOW from the school!

    swipe the books and throw them in the trash. When they’re replaced…swipe them again. Democrats would call that activism!

    All of this only reinforces how stupid it is to risk imprisonment for having child porn on personal computers when all they had to do was ask their kid to check out said porn for them from the elementary school library.

Obama former AG lobbying Pentagon on behalf of a Communist Chinese drone company

President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, has reportedly been lobbying to the United States Pentagon on behalf of a Chinese company, Fox News Digital reported. The company, known as DJI, makes Chinese military tech.

Reuters reported that Lynch, now a partner at law firm Paul, Weiss, could be leveraging her government connections in order to aid the Chinese government-linked company. One specific move Lynch has done is she wrote a letter to the Pentagon last summer on behalf of one of her clients, SZ DJI Technology Co., asking for them to be removed from the DOD’s list of Chinese military companies.

Fox News reports:

DJI is one of the largest producers of drones in the world. The U.S. Treasury placed investment restrictions on it in December 2021, accusing it and seven other companies of actively supporting surveillance and repression efforts against Uyghurs.

Meanwhile, in Congress, a House GOP-led effort could restrict DJI’s activity in the U.S. even further. Stefanik and House China select Committee Chair Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., are leading a bill called the Countering CCP Drones Act, which would ban DJI from operating on U.S. communications infrastructure.

House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital “It is disgraceful but unsurprising that Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is now working on behalf of a Communist Chinese drone company that the Department of Defense has identified as a Chinese military company.”

“Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is lobbying the DOD to request they remove DJI from this list so the Communist Chinese company can operate with impunity in America. U.S. government officials, both past and present, should be working to ban these Communist Chinese spy drones and bolster the domestic drone industry, not advocating on behalf of a Chinese military company and the Chinese Communist Party.”
