A new report from The Washington Stands documents how a school official used explicit sex books – some of those that have created issues when officials allow them in school libraries – to be sworn in.
She explained it with, “The Bible doesn’t hold significant meaning for me.”
According to the report, the situation involved Democrat Karen Smith, recently elected president of board for the Central Bucks School District in Pennsylvania.
“For the swearing-in ceremony, Smith chose to place her hand not on a Bible but on a stack of frequently banned books, including ‘Flamer,’ ‘All Boys Aren’t Blue,’ ‘Beyon Magenta,’ ‘Lily and Dunkin,’ and ‘The Bluest Eye,'” the report said.
She also moved immediately to trash a series of pro-parent and pro-family policies the board already had adopted.
She explained her odd behavior with, “I’m not particularly religious. The Bible doesn’t hold significant meaning for me, and given everything that has occurred in the last couple of years, the banned books, they do mean something to me at this point.”
The Stand report explained “Both ‘Flamer’ and ‘All Boys Aren’t Blue’ feature explicit depictions of homosexual activity, with the graphic novel ‘Flamer’ including illustrations of nude teenage boys showering and masturbating. ‘Flamer’ is centered on an overweight teenage boy who identifies as homosexual navigating puberty during a Boy Scouts summer camp, while ‘All Boys Aren’t Blue’ is about a young black man who identifies as homosexual growing up in New Jersey and Virginia.”
The Stand noted all of the books Smith used, except one novel, have been subjects of controversy because of their explicit content, and the agenda to deliver them to children.
Family Research Council senior fellow Meg Kilgannon said in the report, “People and political forces who would use children to advance their evil ideologies may have momentary successes or seem to win the day, but in the end we know that God wins.
“The effort to reform American education is going to require the same kind of ‘long march’ through the institutions that got us here in the first place. We will have victories and setbacks, but the most important requirement is that we not give up. There are children’s souls and futures on the line, along with our nation.”
The board had, under previous Republican leadership, prevented children from having access at the school to agenda-driven books such as “Gender Queer” and “This Book Is Gay.”
The report said the previous Republican board also had prevented teachers from promoting sexual or political imagery in classrooms and required parental notification if teachers were attempting to persuade children to adopt alternative gender or gender transition lifestyles.
Voters last month turned over control of the board to Democrats.
The Stand reported that the new board immediately started working to provide sexually explicit material to children.
“First, the new board suspended the ban on sexually explicit books. Although ‘Gender Queer’ and ‘This Book Is Gay’ were already removed, Smith said that the other 60 books or so flagged for sexually explicit content are ‘definitely not going to be reviewed at this point,'” the report noted.
Then the board also approved a plan for biological boys to be on girls sports teams, and to allow teachers to promote the LGBT ideology in class.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
