“Porn in the library”: what speakers say

libel. Sounds like rules for thee and not for me. This discussion will not be productive as long as we resort to ad hominem attacks, and I mean that for both sides. The fact is a lot of these materials, especially the ones that are more pornographic, are addictive and form dangerous habits for the youth, and I can attest personally to that. Thank you for listening.

I cannot remember where it was at before you moved it to the adult section it was in YA and then staff moved it to adult okay and that's my opinion it is animated pornography

back in 2020 during new business maybe 2021 early I shared the graphic pictures of this book graphic drawings of oral sex male masturbation and equally disturbing to burn the promotion of the library being a great place to find porn every person

CRT, Common Core, Juneteenth, diversity, gender affirmation, teacher, quote, own the students, young men and girls sports, trainees teaching kindergarten, porn literature in our library.

But anyway, that's just one question. And now the libraries across the country, all of them, they're bringing in this pornographic material. It's coming on like crazy.

I got to keep my kids away from this stuff and my grandkids. And you're not helping the situation when we have a corn of our library, which is pornographic in comic form. That's amazing.

tonight. However, I dare say the language and the graphic pictures in these books making their way into our public library are anything but decently and in order. To speak of the explicit pornography in these books is anything but decently and in order. To

on the evidence of vulgar, inappropriate material. They provide both actual written and visual evidence taken straight out of the book with the page numbers. I'd say that's pretty professional. It does not require a professional library degree to know when you read pornographic, vulgar, sexually explicit descriptions in a book or when you see graphic cartoon depictions of lewd,

some years and what I'm seeing in the library is upsetting as a teacher we show them and we tell them about things that they really aren't old enough to be shown or told about so I'm talking pornography and I'm not talking about banning books okay I don't appreciate that comment but a lot of our children are becoming less socially integrated and more socially marginal they express less commitment to their families fewer pro-social attitudes and less attachment to school the library is an educational facility I mean this disturbs me and this we're giving them pornography that has adverse effects towards education and that bothers me as a teacher it should bother you all too as adults with grandchildren with children

This is demoralizing the library. You are promoting for access to pornography. Nobody's asking that these books be burned, be removed.

Why not? No, we're spending our time arguing about pornography in books. Are we crazy or what?

choose life for yourselves not death and get these pornography books off the shelves of our library choose life not death for our children choose life

In past meetings, I've heard that we couldn't pray in Jesus' name because of the separation of church and state. Some have claimed that the First Amendment allows pornographic material in the children's section because an amendment gives them freedom to read whatever they desire.

Because the storylines in the books more closely resembled those of the young adult category, the books were placed there instead. So that explains the influx of explicit pornography in books.

crisis that we're facing in schools, if we want to reduce the school to prison pipeline that we talked so much about, if we want to reduce teenage pregnancy, STDs, trauma, sexual deviancy, confusion, and rape, then we must start with getting the porn out as it exacerbates all of these. If we don't

honesty, of following the law, equal protection under the law, supporting families, supporting transparency with families. Those are the kind of things that help kids feel stable and reduce the issues that we're having in our school. Getting the porn out of the school would help in a huge way to minimize some of these things. That would be a proactive way to minimize the problems that we keep trying to come in and fix after we've helped create

These books I'm presenting you today would be rated NC-17 and violate obscenity, pornography, and harmful to minors laws. The difficulty of sharing the content in these books proves the obscenity.

Delane England speaking for Eagle Forum and United Women's Forum. We have had a lot of bills in the last five years regarding this topic, and yet we still have a lot of pornography in the schools. It's a

law we've developed the rule and now we have a year or two of data underneath our belt and what we're seeing the way i've phrased it i'll phrase it again is we we've been able to put a band-aid on a hemorrhage on as far as you know the type of novels and materials uh pornographic novels that have had you know made it through salt lake tribune had an article in a way posing that it was you know these these parents are the ones that are doing it and we have this legitimate argument that um

Last session, we passed Senate Bill 13 by Angela Paxton that would remove these books. These are books that are so disgusting, so filthy, so dirty, so vulgar, so pornographic, that for the ladies here, I wouldn't even open it and show you.

In June of last year, some associates, local people, activists, they asked me to read the pornographic content of a couple of books at a school board meeting to help bring attention to it.

If we can prove that X number of books, the 97 in question here, we can prove they're gone because they're porn, then someone in a better position with better lawyers could sit down with representatives of the ALA and start to chip away at their impenetrable armor there.

This is 50 or so reports on books. More than half of them are pornographic and more than half of them from that pile will probably go back on the shelves because they're not pornographic enough for immediate action.

And this is in my child's junior high. And they still haven't removed it. It's been challenged. It breaks the law. It's violent. It's vulgar. Plus, you know, it has very descriptive things of, you know, watching pornography, masturbating. And let me just see what the other. There's one more I think I want to show you. It's where they're all, you know, it's group masturbation.

And we actually, when we met with the school administration, we handed them binders with all of the excerpts printed out and they just closed it and wouldn't look at it. Even in the look, even in the legislative session, they had passed this book that was clearly pornographic, put it on the screen and the legislator asked the district administrator to read it. Their eyes were

It's my bread. My kids are cooking 20 loaves of bread. So the representative who, the representative who ran the sensitive materials law, which in Utah was to get out the pornographic books, sexually explicit books. He went through the PICO decision because the district librarians kept saying per PICO, we can't take it out. And he's like, what is this PICO thing?

which explicit books they have. And then you can go talk to them, the librarian, and say, this book, Fun Home, and I hate this book, is in our kid's library. And this is pornographic. Here's this page. And you can weed it per pico. Pervasively vulgar books can be weeded by the librarian and get that out there as fast as you can. Now, what we've seen happen is principals will go to,

And so they would pay him to come in and he would have to watch all of the Pornhub videos that the pervert on trial had been watching. And he came and testified to our school district and said, this stuff that you have in the schools written out is worse than the videos that I'm watching in Pornhub to put these guys away in jail.

And so we have to defend our children, but also the morality that allows us to exist in a society, a civilized society where people have respect for one another. The problem with this pornographic content is we're giving it to youth, to boys who don't understand what real intimacy looks like and what a woman really wants.

The books that we're talking about are those that would be basically handing a child words about sex, images, pictures of sex that are equal to pornographic material.

The kids can go to the school library and check anything out in a hardback, online, or even on their phone at home, and it will have on the top of the phone the school website. So most parents' filters in their homes will not even catch that what their kids are looking at is indeed compared to pornography. And that is where we want to clean it out. I will point out, if someone outside of school were to hand those very same books that are in your kid's library to your child, or being a sexual,

So, but that's in curriculum. So what do you see as your job if you were to be elected onto the school board? How would you make sure that these ideas are not part of the curriculum? It's a lot of work. That's where my eyes were opened from seeing the porn in the libraries. I began to look at what is in our curriculum. I also at the time had a child at home that was doing some online school programs using the K-12 programs. programs online and I was seeing

So, Llano County, that is where I live, and Llano County has the premier designation as the first library in all of America sued for removing pornography from the children's section. Now,

But when I think about the one that caused me the most harm, I have a top two. One of them is blatantly pornographic and involves children and is disgusting. And it's by the woman who wrote The Handmaid's Tale. It's called

the the roots the the where this came from this pornography in the schools there's even some places there's like drag queen story time for preschoolers and just a bunch of things that are seemingly just really bizarre and random and always done in the name of you know being inclusive and teaching kids to be inclusive um towards people of different sexualities and various other things but

or that they're going to automatically be heterosexual. So therefore we need to expose the children to drag queen story time and whatever different books exploring all the whole spectrum of sexuality. And that includes, we end up with books with pornographic scenes in our school libraries. Somehow in the state of Utah, somehow nobody is willing to put up with the heat to remove these books. And I'm going to go back to, if I can find my,

Please, or any library for that matter, please remove these pornographic books. Please do whatever is needed.

I'm the founder of ratedbooks.org, and I'm here to tell you that pornographic books are in our children's schools. In Utah, we got a law passed in 2022 saying that it's illegal for schools to distribute this, yet it still exists. In fact,

I speak up against the pornography in our schools. We know, again, that this is about breaking the minds of our children.

to destroy their culture, their customs, their religion, their faith, anything, right? Destroy it all. And to say, none of it's true. Now come and we'll give you the new way of knowing the new consciousness. So I've spoken out against, yeah, pornography in our schools. And also, again, with the whole, I just say yes. So I worked for two, I worked last year for one,

vibrators. Look at this line. I love fighting and effing and laughing with her. Wow. From page 247. And finally, book number four on this porn list for Santa Rosa County is called Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare, who is definitely known for erotic type literature. Chain of Iron.

Navarre, Still Pace, yet again, Gulf Breeze High School and Central High School. I will tell you, parents of Santa Rosa County, the two high schools in Santa Rosa County that seem to have the least amount of pornographic and inappropriate content are Central High School and Jay High School, followed third by Gulf Breeze High School. The other three high schools, Navarre, Milton, and Pace, are almost neck and neck, but here lately, Pace,

Okay, this video for my Watchmen Wednesday report is going to focus on three pure porn books found in Escambia County, Florida. If you know anything about Escambia County, Florida, they did close down the library supposedly. Remember how libraries

If you recall, three years ago, I literally brought forth a video and the information to Escambia County, Florida, that students can access literally Pornhub from the school campus, and they did

I think it's time that we do what Arkansas has done in that they've made it to where definitely someone who orders this pornography, this is pornography, it is obscene, and they allow it and put it in front of minors, make it available to minors, that person needs to face the music.
