Fox19 reports that a group of parents in, Ohio are complaining about the presence of Heartstopper graphic novels at a Scholastic Book Fair.
They report one parentwho states,"It's more than foul language. There's so much sexual innuendo, especially in Heartstopper.
He wrote"On the evening of Tuesday, August 22, I was in attendance when a member of our community stood up and addressed the board about a questionable book"Heartstopper" Volumes 1 & 2, currently being sold to Little Miami's middle school students via the Scholastic book fair. This resident brought his concerns to you, the board members, in the hope that this book would be removed from the shelf. You did not.
Greater Cincinnati Human Rights representatives released their own statement,"All students, no matter their background, sexual orientation, or gender identity deserve to feel safe and welcomed in schools, libraries, and bookshops alike. Banning books because they contain LGBTQ+ content is a shameful attempt to silence LGBTQ+ stories.
