The National Education Association (NEA) has released its “recommended” summer reading list for educators, and the pornographic graphic novel Gender Queer is on it.
With membership totaling over 3 million, the NEA is not only the largest teachers union in the United States, it has by far the largest membership of any single labor union in the country. This is not counting the AFL-CIO, which is an amalgamation of many member unions.
FOX News reported that Gender Queer
has courted major controversy among America [sic] parents for being in public school libraries throughout the U.S. and has been challenged for its depictions and descriptions of oral sex as well as discussions on masturbation.
Fox News Digital previously reported on Gender Queer’s author, Maia Kobabe, defending the sexually explicit graphic images in the memoir during an interview with NPR in January.
“And I honestly think the book is a lot less explicit than it could be,” Kobabe told NPR.
Poster Comment:
Two explicit porn images are at source. I decided not to post them as I would object to seeing those images.
