Avast! The scurvy dogs in the Biden administration be thwarting the noble efforts o' parents to rid the K-12 public schools o' lewd tomes! So say the wise souls, mateys!
The Biden administration is facing backlash from parents who are fighting to remove pornographic content from their children's schools. Education experts claim that the Department of Education (DOE) Office of Civil Rights is using federal funding as leverage to combat parents' efforts. The DOE will inform districts that reviewing and removing books challenged by parents can create a racially and sexually hostile environment, violating federal law. The move allows the DOE to investigate districts for simply considering parents' concerns about explicit content in schools. The Office of Civil Rights previously launched an investigation into a Georgia district after parents flagged content that detailed sex acts and discussed bestiality. Despite focusing only on sexually explicit books, the investigation found that the district likely created a hostile environment. Critics argue that the DOE is using federal law enforcement power to silence parents and prevent schools from making judgments about appropriate material. The Biden administration claims that the focus on books is to promote inclusion for the LGBTQ community, but critics argue that there is no legitimate reason for sexually explicit material in school libraries. Parents are concerned about the federal government's overreach and the impact on their children's education. The administration's actions have sparked accusations of weaponizing federal agencies and limiting parents' say in their children's education. The White House has not responded to requests for comment.
