The largest teachers' union in the nation, the NEA, has put out a recommended summer reading list that includes the book Gender Queer which has been at the center of the battle over "banned books" in schools because of its extremely sexually explicit illustrations and promotion of LGBT values.
In case you aren't familiar with it, Gender Queer is a memoir written by an LGBT author and is controversial because it shows, for instance, illustrations of a minor performing oral sex. Like, isn't that illegal??
In fact, the book is so obviously sexually explicit that if you read it at a school board meeting you'll be silenced because of the graphic nature and even Democrats will accuse of sharing child porn if you show people what's in the book.
But, anyways, this is the kind of smut the NEA wants your kids to be taught.
You know, for sign-tapping reasons.
The book was featured in the NEA's "Great Summer Reads for Educators!" list that showcased 11 books.
Among those books are "White Fragility," a book that insists that White Americans use anger, shame and guilt to avoid taking responsibility for racial inequality.
The job of the NEA is to train teachers and what they're training them in is how to groom kids and expose them to radical gender theory and sexualization from a young age.
Then you have white fragility in there too because it's also important to teach kids that all white people are racist and that America is evil.
This is who is in charge of your child's education.
Protect your kids people, get them out of public schools.

The Nebraskan Republican Party took some flak for posting images from Maia Kobabe's graphic novel Gender Queer. To be fair, the images depict what appear to be minors engaged in sexual acts and are highly inappropriate. However, as the book is available in school libraries around the state, it can't possibly be child pornography...right?
Blurred into obscurity because this is a family-friendly site.
The tweets came in response to Nebraska Democratic Party chair Jane Kleeb making fun of Republicans and their position that "gambling devastates the family" calling them "fun haters."
The GOP account shot back with
"Like fun haters against fellatio being taught to school age children? @janekleeb Well u are right !! We have principles and values, not "everything goes" policies. Sorry to be sane."
And then attached the pictures from Gender Queer.
The post was quickly pulled down, and the Republican chair said it had not been authorized, but of course, this is the internet, and several screen grabs were taken before it disappeared.
That's when the former chair of the Nebraska Democratic party accused them of peddling child pornography and called them disgusting.
And this is where the disconnect in the party comes in.
Some Democratic followers saw the GOP's post as being disgusting and their claim that the book is in schools as being a Republican conspiracy theory.
But others were upset that the Democrat leadership had called the images child pornography and thought this book and similar LGBTQ books for children should remain in schools rather than being banned.
How are these people engaging in the same conversation?
And the Democrat leadership is playing both sides. On the one hand Kleeb says,
"Nebraskans are tired of Republican conspiracy theories and weird antics. The party has gone off the rails. They think lying about our public school teachers is a strategy to win elections."
On the other hand Kearney Public Schools Superintendent Jason Mundorf defended the inclusion of books like Gender Queer because
"We have students who are facing internal questions regarding their gender and sexual identity," he wrote. "These books can provide a context by which some student readers can identify with someone (even if it's a fictional character) who has had similar struggles."
And Democrat Deb Neary, a State Board of Education member said, the uproar involving the tweets
"risks hurting some of our more vulnerable student populations. I am quite certain that there is no school administrator, no policy maker, no librarian, no educator, no Democrat, or no parent in NE, that is intentionally promoting the use of inappropriate materials in our schools…[but]
I do know that Nebraska is one of only 2 states in the country that does not have an age appropriate and standardized health education."
Honestly, with all of the talking out both sides of their mouth that the Democrats are doing, the GOP backpedaling here was probably the wrong move.
Now is not the time for cowardice.
It's time to press forward and drive this stuff out of the schools. Our children and our future as a nation depend on it.
