Author of 'pornographic' kids' book is victim of ‘censorship’, 'tugged into' culture wars: LA Times report
Fox News ^ | 12/22/2022 | Gabriel Hays |

"Gender Queer," a "graphic memoir" – as Fleishman described it – containing illustrations of "sexual acts between a boy and a man" and other "obscene" material, has courted major controversy among America’s parents for being in public school libraries throughout the U.S.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, R., Fleishman noted, has referred to the book as "pornographic." In a letter he also said it was "likely illegal under South Carolina law."

Fleishman began by characterizing Kobabe’s work as an "insightful and moving coming of age discovery of identifying as nonbinary (using the pronouns e, em and heir)."

Fleishman acknowledged that the book features scenes of "masturbation, an oral sex encounter and an erotic image of a man and boy illustrated on an ancient Greek urn," and noted they "have been considered too graphic by many school boards and parents who are alarmed that children are increasingly questioning their gender and sexual orientation. In the states Kobabe’s book was challenged, it was mainly stocked in high school and public libraries."

Kobabe claims her work is "mainly intended for teenagers and young adults" and described her as a "role model" who highlights "gender and diversity" in opinion pieces and on radio and podcast interviews

I like all my children’s books to be pornographic in nature, written by non-binary, dyslexic, asexuals with Spivak pronouns...

Hey Fox News, let’s start by putting scare quotes around “non-binary.”

I’m old enough to remember when crap like that guaranteed a prison sentence for the perpetrator.

Legalizing pedophilia is the next great quest of the Left. I fear legalized child prostitution is just around the corner. Along with marriage of adult men to girls and boys under 10 years of age.

The story here isn’t about the kiddie porn so much as the complaint that it has been “censured.”

Sick of these threads, where FRacebookers want to read the headline, and type with their elbows how damn mad they are, and ignore their own responsibilities, when this nutty groomer has an Instagram where punching down is accommodated.

This fruitcake is trying to overextend her 15 minutes of frame from one 2019 book. Otherwise she is an under-employed graphic novelist.

You all just seriously don't get it, do you. JHC.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

So, if a child claims to be sexually befuddled we provide {pronouns} with pervert-porn in grade school but if they are {cis} then no hetero-porn?

That sounds inclusive...
