\"Homosexualistby Richard L. Cravatts –
\nPublic schools continually introduce books to normalize extreme sexual behaviors to groom children into accepting homosexual perversions and deviant lifestyles and behaviors.<\/strong>
\n…
\nWhile parents and school boards have long questioned titles that some consider objectionable, inappropriate, indecent, or lewd, complaints from parents and school boards about offensive books currently seem to involve books about sexuality, and particularly including those with a focus on LGBTQ topics.<\/p>\n

In fact, an American Library Association report<\/a> noted that \u201cMost challenges to library resources in 2018 focused on materials and programs associated with issues of concern to those in the gay, lesbian, transgender, and queer communities, most notably drag queen story hours and books affirming transgender youth….\u201d <\/p>\n

While the vigorous debate over race and the teaching of critical race theory (CRT) in public schools has garnered an enormous amount of attention, less visible but equally as troubling is the increased adoption of books whose language, subject matter, illustrations, and general tone are so sexually charged and so graphic that a school board\u2019s concern about a drawing of a naked mouse or some off-hand swearing by Holden Caufield seems disingenuous at best and hypocritical at worst.<\/p>\n

A whole collection of new titles has been published as part of a campaign to normalize extremes of sexual behavior<\/strong>, to expose even young students to discussions about sexuality and physical relationships, to advance tolerance for and acceptance of gay and even deviant lifestyles and behavior, and for a pervading attitude that anyone\u2019s difference and uniqueness\u2014no matter how obscure or aberrant\u2014should be discussed and embraced by everyone. This is part of a wide campaign that educators have taken on as something they believe is their right and duty to promote and teach, resulting in a variety of what many think are inappropriate, even offensive books that have found their way into school libraries, reading lists, and classrooms.<\/p>\n

Consider, as one example, Lawn Boy<\/em> by Jonathan Evison, a coming of age book which the School Library Journal<\/em> described<\/a> as a \u201cdeceptively simple novel [that] takes on tough issues such as race, sexual identity, and the crushing weight of American capitalism.\u201d Of course, the fact that \u201cMike Mu\u00f1oz, the 22-year-old biracial (Mexican and white) narrator, has grown up dirt-poor with his hardworking waiter mother and his brother, who is developmentally disabled\u201d makes this entire package irresistible to educators in the thrall of intersectionality, perfectly coalesced here with a poor, bi-racial gay person victimized by capitalism and white supremacy.<\/p>\n

But it is the language that is troublesome here, not the oft-repeated critique of American society. At a September meeting of the board of the Leander Independent School District in Texas, the vulgarity and blatant sexuality of the book was exposed by a concerned parent who read passages<\/a> from it and questioned why her child had found a book like this in his school library.<\/p>\n

As a sample of some of the sexual descriptions in the book, she read such passages as, \u201cNot that it really matters, in fourth grade at a church youth group meeting out in the bushes, I touched Doug Goebbels\u2019 dick, and he touched mine. In fact, there was even some mouths involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another passage, which the parent accurately suggested was an example of grooming of children<\/strong> to make them likely to want to participate in sexual activity, read, \u201cWhat if I told you I touched another guy\u2019s dick? What if I told you I sucked it? I was ten years old, but it\u2019s true. I put Doug Goebbels\u2019 dick in my mouth. I was in fourth grade, it was no big deal. He sucked mine too. And you know what, it wasn\u2019t terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps when a gay, bi-racial Mexican character is the subject of a book any language and graphic description are acceptable, the only explanation for the passages like this one in which the most intimate childhood recollections are described: \u201cHe talked about all times at the church but never mentioned our penises, or the fact that he never said ten words to me after our little foray in the bushes. Not a single reference to holding or tugging or sucking dicks. All I could think about while he was chatting me up, was his little salamander between my fourth-grade fingers, rapidly engorging with blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holden Caufield\u2019s musing in Catcher in the Rye seems quite quaint compared to the language of Lawn Boy, \u201cIf you want to know the truth, I\u2019m a virgin. I really am,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve had quite a few opportunities to lose my virginity and all, but I\u2019ve never got around to it yet. Something always happens.\u201d Yet, one of the complaints about Salinger\u2019s work is that it is profane and overtly sexual.<\/p>\n

In January, the Board of Education of the Wentzville (Missouri) School District debated<\/a> whether The Bluest Eyes<\/em>, a novel by the late Toni Morrison, should be retained in the library collection after complaints were made about the book\u2019s depiction of \u201cpedophilia, incest, rape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Literature, including, of course, great literature, has often dealt with difficult and controversial topics as far back as Oedipus.<\/strong> But whether The Bluest Eyes<\/em>, with this description of a pedophile\u2019s yearning for sex with children, is a good choice for a school library is debatable. \u201cHe further limited his interests to little girls. They were usually manageable . . ,\u201d it reads. \u201cHis sexuality was anything but lewd; his patronage of little girls smacked of innocence and was associated in his mind with cleanliness.\u201d Later, in an attempt to expiate himself of his sins, the pedophile deludes himself by suggesting, \u201cI work only through the Lord. He sometimes uses me to help people.\u201d<\/p>\n

And his professed innocence and self-awareness do not diminish the repulsive attraction depicted here: \u201cThe little girls are the only things I\u2019ll miss. Do you know that when I touched their sturdy little tits and bit them \u2014just a little\u2014I felt I was being friendly?\u2014If I\u2019d been hurting them, would they have come back? . . . they\u2019d eat ice cream with their legs open while I played with them. It was like a party.\u201d<\/p>\n

The language of this book also includes some of the same words condemned in Huckleberry Finn<\/em> and To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>, but this school board condoned them in this instance, suggesting in their review that \u201cThis novel helps the reader step into and understand 1941 (pre WWII, pre civil [sic] rights movement), small town black culture in a way no textbook can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a violence born of total helplessness, he pulled her dress up, lowered his trousers and underwear,\u201d one violent, misogynistic passage reads. \u201c\u2018I said get on wid [sic] it. An\u2019 make it good, [n-word], Come on [c-word]. Faster. You ain\u2019t doing nothing for her.\u2019 He almost wished he could do it\u2014hard, long, and painfully, he hated her so much.\u201d
\n
\nThe Left\u2019s current obsession with gender fluidity and gender dysphoria<\/strong> has, of course, made its way into children\u2019s books as well, as activists determined to promote transgenderism are eager to bring that discussion into schools. One such book, Felix Ever After,<\/em> is \u201ca revelatory YA novel<\/a> about a transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

KTTH-AM<\/a>\u00a0host Jason Rantz revealed that in a display for\u00a0Pride Month, Zeiger Elementary School in Puyallup, Washington included Felix Ever After<\/em>, a book that focuses on \u201ctop surgery.\u201d \u00a0The book, according to Rantz, is \u201ca book with prolific drugs, sex, and vulgarity,\u201d not to mention the fact that it promotes a controversial sex-altering surgery performed here on a minor. On top of that, the book is replete with swears and obscenity. \u201cThe F-word is present in this book 66 times in the first 90 pages, local activist Dawn Land said at a recent board meeting. \u201cConsidering that a movie that [says] the F-word more than once is automatically rated R, this book should not be anywhere near any school in this district.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, if you are a \u201cBlack, queer, and transgender teen who faces transphobia,\u201d you can swear with impunity, just as a gay, bi-racial Mexican character can engage in gay sex and describe oral sex sessions with another child and that content is acceptable because of the victim status of the books\u2019 subjects.
\n…<\/p>\n

Something is clearly amiss when school boards and teachers purge their reading lists and libraries of classic works of fiction that have proven educational value and merit, even if they are peppered with occasional swears or slurs, including the n-word, but words that are appropriate to the narratives and even helpful in making the point of the stories. If an illustration of a naked mouse in a significant novel about the Holocaust is considered too controversial, but pedophilia, rape, and graphic depictions of oral sex by minors are somehow acceptable because the characters are members of protected identity groups, then the wrong standards are being applied to the literary works schools adopt for teaching its students.<\/p>\n

Great literature is still worthy even if it sometimes offends, but unworthy books do not become literature merely<\/em> because they are offensive, and educators should know the difference.<\/p>\n
