Seems like a heavy dose of lawfare is in order.
"Federal law strictly prohibits the distribution of obscene matter to minors. Any transfer or attempt to transfer such material to a minor under the age of 16,...is punishable under federal law."
"Obscenity is not protected under First Amendment rights to free speech, and violations of federal obscenity laws are criminal offenses. The U.S. courts use [the] three-pronged...Miller test, to determine if... material is obscene. Obscenity is defined as anything that fits the criteria of the Miller test, which may include, for example, visual depictions, spoken words, or written text."
Win or lose, exposing these arrogant ideologues and political activists posing as "educators" would be worth the cost and effort.
(The 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) revealed that only 32% of 4th grade and 29% of 8th grade public school students performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level in reading.
N.B. :"According to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, 2/3 of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare")
The American public school system's creeping abrogation of parental rights (i.e. "social transitioning" a child without a parent's knowledge or consent) must end.

We are w-a-a-ay beyond mere political differences. This is an existential battle for survival. And our enemy lies within.

I spent many hours in my children's elementary school volunteering, working with the PTO, school banking, creating a science club, and using my own time/resources. Everything changed when my oldest moved to middle school. Parents are not needed as much and don't always see what is happening. As I learned about what was being said to my child I complained. I complained first to the teacher, then the principal, director of curriculum, and superintendent. Finally, I wrote to the school board about a book being used as part of the 9th-grade curriculum. My husband and I were confronted by the board and an organized group of folks (most of whom never attended school board meetings or had children in the school). Our issue was that the book had a Lexile level for 4-5th graders and read like Capitan Underpants or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The book was littered with vulgarity, sexual assault, homophobia, and racism. The group one by one spoke about how we are racists, our "windows are closed," and something was wrong with us for not wanting our child to read this book. The director of curriculum said the message is more important than the academic rigor. This coming one month after the test results showed most grade levels only had 30-40% at grade level and another 30-40% at least 2 or more grade levels behind. Finally, the author was convicted of a sexual crime and I asked why we are supporting him and the director said something was wrong with every author. Upstate NY

this along with so many other 'stories' is hard cold proof the 2020 elections were illegal. why? what is the link? think about it: SO MANY HAVE NO MORALS WHATSOEVER, that election cheating is not even on the minds of the majority as 'wrongdoing'...they call it 'saving democracy'...abortions become 'womans' health care' etc etc etc..when you deny the existence of God, there are NO MORALS PERIOD...

Every institution is under the spell of all this WOKE nonsense - and the DOE is certainly a glaring example of that. When they feel the right to brainwash and contaminate our children - and then attempt to dissuade them from informing parents of their nefarious agenda(s) - that is beyond unethical and sick. This is nothing more than a blatant attempt by the LEFT to indoctrinate our youth into future versions of themselves.

Gosh, I know people who have been reprimanded—even fired—over a joke or showing a picture online that was “mildly” sexual. They have kids reading this!!! Unfortunately in this climate, all the parents need to leave the school (sounds crazy, but the other sides’ crazy worked) and tell every other parent whose kids may potentially go to the school know what this school is doing so they have no students at all. Shut them down. Good luck, sir! It’s tough to protect your children from maverick schools, but the best interest of your children comes first!

I guess they forgot all of Shakespeares male actors were playing female roles. Isn’t that woke enough for them, or did they not learn that part of history?

Probably should have been more vigilant. Probably should have taken you child OUT of that debauched hellhole they call schools. This is PARENTS faults for allowing the schools to become defacto parents by not knowing what was going on every minute strangers have your child. It’s YOUR FAULT your child was sexually harassed.

I lost all repect for primary-school, and secondary school teachers a lifetime ago
The are nothing but a bunch of left-wing, pedøphiles and pørnogråphers.
And for those amongst them who aren't; it's called guilt by association.

If an adult shares porn with a minor , that’s an arrestable offense. I can’t understand how schools get away with it

We have gone from “don’t ask don’t tell” to full on LBQT activists grooming of our children. Forcing adult sexual content onto young children is obviously wrong and evil, but this school is not apologizing for it and intends to continue the practice. It is especially evil that they sneak the content into seemingly innocent publications.

In Florida some school boards are getting rid of these inappropriate aged books. If for some reason parents are okay with these types of books they can go to the public library or order them online. Amazing how some parents are okay with this and then call the act of removing this filth fascist. More parents need to get involved and demand to see the curriculum and books required for reading. Unfortunately some teachers take it upon themselves and push the leftist agenda and give handouts that are not allowed to be taken home.

If this parent speaks out about this at an open meeting of parents and teachers, Biden’s FBI will be at the door with handcuffs.

"A word about the word 'diversity': It is not synonymous with sexually graphic material, nor does it grant immunity to teachers who sexually harass minor children by assigning such content."
Oh, yes it is, in terms of every practical application made by those intent on indoctrinating innocent children with a degenerate ideology.

If you want the government to pay for your child's schooling, this is what you get. They are as effective at this as they are at the war on drugs, war on poverty and defending our border.
