A Maine Father is suing his regional school board after he was trespassed from district property for speaking up against school library books that promote t*********rism and porn.
In the wake of those grievances, Shawn McBreairty got a criminal trespass notification from the school district, according to a copy of the claim and the notification. The Maine father of two children, who has campaigned against sexualized lesson plans in public schools, stated throughout an April school board meeting that the books wereâg***ming students on premature sexual ideology,â referencing a pornographic book the library marked as suitable for any age groups. A video of his revelation of this bookâs content uploaded to Youtube is notably âage-restrictedâ by the platform.
The school board required that McBreairty leave for playing a recording of a discussion between him and Chairman Heath Miller, stating his descriptions of the books included âvulgarity and obscenity.â McBreairty stated that government-run school libraries must not provide the books, which the school board considered too unsuitable to talk about amongst adults, to minors.
âIâm not anti-L***Q,â McBreairty told the Washington Free Beacon. âIâm not anti-anything, but when somebody tries to use our tax dollars to indoctrinate kids with hypersexual materials, to me, thatâs nonsense.â
The Hampden, Maine, school district is among many across the country to deal with pushback from parents over sexual library books. Florida parents in April required the Osceola and Orange County school boards to eliminate from the library questionable books such as G****r Q***r, the story of an individual with âe/em/eirâ pronouns, which parents said included âpornographicâ details. A Virginia Beach, Va., school district removed G****r Q***r and comparable books from its libraries after moms and dads grumbled in May. Parents in Frisco, Texas, likewise objected sexually explicit books in their kidsâs school libraries.
McBreairty raised issues about the districtâs Reads Three Reading Challenge, which grants K-12 trainees for checking out books like All Boys Arenât Blue, which has actually been eliminated from libraries in eight states for concerns about âsexually graphic material, including descriptions of q***r sex,â and Hurricane Child, in which a 12-year-old girl falls for another girl.
The criminal trespass notification versus McBreairty, which prohibits him from all in-person and virtual school-related conferences, breaches his First Amendment rights, according to the suit. The district needs to let McBreairty reveal his concepts and enable the neighborhood to evaluate the books on their own, stated Marc Randazza, who is representing McBreairty in the U.S. District Court for Maine.
âThis government entity believes that it can shut a citizen out of public life entirely if he challenges them, their decisions, or their authority,â Randazza told the Free Beacon. âIt shouldnât matter what heâs advocating for. If you canât advocate your position before the government without being told youâre now locked out of public life, because you challenged us, well, thatâs not what freedom is.â
In the recording McBreairty dipped into the April board conference, Miller warranted adult excerpts of a library book in the Hampden High School library, stating, âIf you were to read it in the context of the whole book, it would have a different meaning.â
The board mentioned the occurrence to validate the criminal trespass notification, however no main policy versus playing a video or recording throughout a school board conference exists, the claim states. Randazza stated the board attempted to include constraints to its policies to stop McBreairty from criticizing the library books.
The library at the districtâs Reeds Brook Middle School offers The Other Boy as a se******n,a book about a 12-year-old kid who was born a lady and attempts to hide that he is t*********r when his household moves towns; Middle Schoolâs A D**g: You Better Werk, the story of a young gay business owner who begins his own junior sk**l firm with a 13-year-old aiming d**g q***n as his very first customer; and Rick, a book about a young boy who joins up with a âRainbow Spectrum club, where kids of many g****rs and identities can express themselves.â It also offers Itâs Perfectly Normal: A Book About Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health, which McBreairty read a se******n from at a different school board meeting.
Another district library, Leroy H. Smith Elementary School, includes My Maddy, in which a kid commemorates her âg****rfluidâ mom nor dad who is neither a father nor a mother; My Rainbow, in which a mother âcreates the perfect rainbow-colored wig for her t*********r daughterâ; and JuliĂĄn Is a Mermaid, about a young boy who wishes to impersonate a pretty mermaid. It also offers Rise Up: The Art of Protest, which teaches children to protest for âg****r e******y, civil rights, L**T rights, refugee and immigrant rights, peace, and the environment.â
âEight-year-old kids who donât know how to spell âblueâ are basically being asked to do art for protests,â McBreairty said.
The Regional School Unit #22 school district and 2022 Maine Teacher of the Year Kelsey Stoyanova, who crafted the Reads Three program, have actually attracted âintellectual freedomâ in defense of the library books. McBreairty stated the intellectual flexibility argument is a Trojan horse for the Maine Department of Educationâs extreme program.
âTheir program is to indoctrinate kids while theyâre young without parental permission,â he said. âDonât try to force that stuff on me or my daughters with my tax dollars.â
Neither Regional School Unit # 22 nor Miller responded to requests for comment.
