The Dearborn, Michigan, school district has pulled seven books from its schools’ libraries, including titles with LGBTQ themes, after parents complained.
Dearborn Public Schools said the removal is temporary as it reviews the books that children can access at school libraries. One mother was shocked by some of the books’ contents after she told her daughter to check out a book titled “Flamer” and found that it depicts sexually explicit acts between boys, ABC 7 News reported.
“If these were just LGBT romance novels that is completely appropriate,” Stephanie Butler said. “Where I draw the line is teaching them how to actually do the act.”
