Here's what happened:
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District in North Carolina was promoting the book "This Book is Gay" in a 7th grade classroom. It's all about homosexuality and contains straight-up gay pornography. And this school recommended it to 12- and 13-year-old kids.
I'm going to provide two versions of this for you – the first one is PG-13 and the other one is unfiltered, so reader beware. In a world where middle schoolers aren't being exposed to this stuff we wouldn't have to share this, but here we freaking are.
Here's what this mom read to the school board straight from the book. I am going to remind you, this is the PG-13 version, but it contains graphic descriptions that are unsuitable for minors and are presented here solely for the purpose of letting you know WHAT YOUR SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING YOUR KIDS:
'This Book Is Gay' by Juno Dawson was found in a 7th-grade classroom at Collinswood Middle School. It was also on the ELA recommended reading list for 7th graders at JM Robinson. I'm going to read from chapter 9, 'The Ins And Outs Of Gay Sex', starting at page 201, part 1, 'Boy On Boy Sex':
'Perhaps the most important skill you will master as a gay or bi man is a timeless classic: the handjob. Good news is, you can practice it on yourself. The bad news is, each guy has become used to his own way of getting himself off. Learning how to find a partner's personal style can take ages. But it can be very rewarding when you do. Something they don't teach you in school is that in order to be able to [orgasm] at all, you and your partner may need to finish off with a [handjob]. A lot of people find it hard to [orgasm] through other types of sex. That is fine and certainly not something you have to apologize for. A good [handjob] is all about the wrist action.'
I'm going to stop there, because it gets worse.
Yes, it gets worse.
Now I'm going to show you the video where the woman reads directly from the book in full.
This is not suitable for anyone under 18. I really mean that.
And I really wish we didn't have to feature these things, but to ignore them means the freaking perverts win. Every parent in America should be as brave as this mom for exposing darkness, so we need to talk about it.

Ultimatum:
Any teacher that puts material like this on his or her bookshelf is either a bad teacher or a pedophile who grooms children.
There's so much going on here.
First off, the sign language guy. I just feel so bad for him.
Then there's this dude in the background that I DEFINITELY relate to:
I'd have to plug my ears too if I was there.
And the only response from the superintendent?
I'm not on the ballot November 8.
SICKENING.
YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL! If you make excuses for groomers like this teacher and author you are complicit in the sexualization of children.
The absolute gall of these people.
They need to be on their hands and knees begging for forgiveness and all they give back is a smart-butt sarcastic remark.
It should be simple: ban porn from schools.
