“They’ve doubled down on porn in the schools. They’ve all got to go,” said Stacy Langton, the Fairfax County mother who showed the school board images from the books in September, in an interview with Fox News.
“Who’s in favor of porn in the schools?” she asked. Fox News added that parents recently showed up at a board meeting -- again -- to protest the books -- again: Fox News reported that parents assembled outside of Luther Jackson Middle School with some holding signs that said, “No porn in our schools” and t-shirts emblazoned with “Mama Grizzly” and “Papa Grizzly.” Others held signs that featured school board members and the text, “Resign FairfaXXX.” The Thursday school board meeting is the first since FCPS reinstalled the controversial books: “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, which features lengthy segments of a boy thinking about explicit experiences when he was 10; and “Gender Queer: A Memoir,” by Maia Kobabe, which includes photos of sex acts between a man and a boy. “We’re here because we don’t want any porn in the schools,” Angela Boyer, who has a daughter who graduated from a school in Fairfax County, noted in an interview with the news network outside of the board meeting. “We’re sick of them trying to put labels on it and call it what it isn’t. Stop playing word semantic games. It’s ridiculous and insulting,” she said. “As a parent of kids that go to Fairfax County schools, it doesn’t matter if it’s ‘Lawn Boy,’ gay sex, straight sex, it shouldn’t be in schools,” added a father of two named Justin. “We don’t need to be paying tax dollars for sexual books.” “The school board is failing our children,” said a mother of two, Maria Sherwell, both of whom attend a school in the district.
