Lesbians Featured in School District Library Books
This is a description of the book The Girl from the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag from the Anna ISD online library catalog:
The book is found in many other high schools and middle/junior high schools in various districts including Denton ISD (also downloadable):
Northeast ISD in middle and high school libraries:
Coppell ISD
Plano ISD
McKinney ISD
Richardson ISD
Dallas ISD (also downloadable)
Here are some scanned pages from the book with four female characters:
Why are public schools putting books with lesbian themes and graphic images of lesbians kissing in middle/junior high and high school libraries? Are they trying to sexualize kids? Are they trying to desensitize kids to lesbianism? Is this appropriate for kids? Should kids be able to read and even download this book without their parents' knowledge or consent? Does this book clash with the values of some parents?
It's time to get informed and get involved!
