In Temporary Win, Mom Gets Dirty Books Removed From School Libraries

Northern Virginia continues to be a battleground between parents and their school boards over what should be taught in public schools. One of the latest incidents involves books in the libraries of Fairfax County Public Schools that contain graphic depictions of sex between children and adults.
 
Stacy Langton, a Fairfax County mother, made headlines after she read aloud and showed images from two of the books, “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe and “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, during a school board meeting. 

Although officials removed the books temporarily from school libraries, Langton says she is still concerned that children will be permanently affected by the obscene pictures.

“You’re going to accidentally have your child stumble across this and open [it] up. And once you see this, you can’t unsee these images,” she says.
