Frances Floresca: 'It is the people’s right to know if there is obscene and pornographic content in the classrooms, and it is their right to ask them to be removed.'
69% of voters do not want “explicit sexual depictions of sex acts” in high school libraries, 79% in middle schools and 85% for elementary schools. The same poll found 89% of voters believe it is important to inform parents what is being taught and shared in schools.
People’s taxpayer dollars are going to these schools, so it is vital for them to be as transparent as possible. It is the people’s right to know if there is obscene and pornographic content in the classrooms, and it is their right to ask them to be removed.
Individuals who testified noted it takes a while to get through all the books reported to have “sensitive material,” and seeing which books have actual explicit content such as “Gender Queer” found in Alpine School District and “Fun Home” found in Park City School District, should be immediately removed to allow discussion for other books where “bright line standards” may not be clear.
The Bible does not meet the “bright line standards,” and it does not depict or even describe explicit sexual content. While there are some passages in the Bible that refer to sex, these passages are not explicit and are not intended to be sexually stimulating. Nobody is calling for book bans. Parents want to make sure their taxpayer dollars do not go to activities or materials unrelated to student achievement.is an education and free-market policy analyst who has worked for free-market organizations in Utah, the District of Columbia and Nevada.
