Here are searches in the Lake Belton High School's own library catalog. From the catalog, I searched "abortion", "transgender", "gay", "lesbian", "racism", "sex instruction", "rape fiction", and I also searched for particular titles that did not come up in my searches.

Notice how many results come up for each search! Here are just SOME of the results:

Here are scanned pages from Jane Against the World:

Here are scanned pages from the book Unpregnant:

after the abortion.....

Here are scanned pages from Boy Meets Boy:

and from the end of the book....

This is a scanned page from Bloom:

Kids love graphic novels, parents never suspect that a graphic novel has THIS in it, and once you see a visual of something you can't get rid of it in your head.

These are scanned pages from The Summer of Jordi Perez:

Here are scanned pages from Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me:

Here are scanned pages from Tyler Johnson Was Here:

Here are scanned pages from We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide:
