Earlier today, I posted on the campaign being waged by the left to normalize homosexual and transgender pornography as an intellectual offering to school children, many of whom are below the legal age of consent; see Washington Post Rolls Out the Groomer Strategy for Reaching into Elementary Schools and Winning Elections.

The mainstreaming of obscene material into school curricula is something we’ve commented on frequently.

More states and localities realize what is going on here and are taking action. For example, Florida, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, has signed legislation making it much easier for parents to challenge porn in school libraries.

Sometimes school districts come to their senses and take action to remove obscene materials and find themselves fighting the Biden Department of Education. Such was the case with Texas’s Granbury Independent School District.

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights notified Granbury school officials on Dec. 6 that it had opened the investigation following a July complaint by the ACLU, which accused the district of violating a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender. The ACLU complaint was based largely on an investigation published in March by NBC News, ProPublica and the Tribune that revealed that Granbury’s superintendent, Jeremy Glenn, instructed librarians to remove books dealing with sexual orientation and people who are transgender.

…

An Education Department spokesperson confirmed the investigation and said it was related to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits schools from discriminating on the basis of sex, gender and sexual orientation. The Office for Civil Rights doesn’t comment on pending investigations, the spokesperson said.

If the investigation confirms violations of students’ rights in Granbury schools, the agency can require the district to make policy changes and submit to federal monitoring.

Not having gay- or trans-themed porn in school libraries is not a sign of discrimination. There is literally no right to porn in schools. Kicking porn out of schools is a sign that, every once in a while, sane people run school districts. Sexually explicit materials, particularly those that endorse aberrant and unsafe behavior, have no place in school libraries, no matter what flavor of ice cream they encourage. Non-pedophiles should be able to agree on this very basic concept.

The Biden Education Department intervening in a very local issue to push an agenda abhorrent to most parents in that school district is grotesque. Hopefully, the new GOP House majority can take some time out from stabbing one another in the back and hold very public hearings on why the federal government is interfering.
