First, the school was called Adams 12, which made me think of this:


But back on track: I've actually read Gender Queer before it became a scapegoat for the world's ills, and I never felt a compelling urge to masturbate once.

Second, the person was reading passages from a book that the library did not have.
Quote:
At the current time, one copy of ‘Lawn Boy’ is held at one of our high school libraries and ‘Gender Queer’ is not held in any of the school libraries of district-managed schools.
However, I would be perfectly fine with Gender Queer being available in a high school or middle school library. The parents are reading passages out of context, when they would do better to read the whole book and form an actual opinion. I have done so, and if my kid wants to read Gender Queer in a couple of years, I would have no problem letting her do so. I would have no problem if she leafed through it now and saw nudity. I just think the emotions and story would sail over her head.

Thinking Gender Queer is some sort of undercover pornography to groom children seems like the thought process of a diseased mind.

Lastly, about that site. I don't know if it is a place you hang out at regularly or just a link you found to support your opinion. But man, look at some of the comments on that article:

I think if a house or two burned to the ground, the school board might get the message.
Quote:
Check out the book and burn it
Quote:
It's not a School, it's a den of PEDOPHILES masquerading as a School, get your children out.

If the washer machine and tampon had not been invented by men, the women would still have satisfaction and desire to run the household. They would be happy.
