Yes, there really is hardcore porn in Metro School libraries.

by Rod Williams, March 20, 2022 - I have followed the controversy about what materials are part of required reading list in Metro schools and what books are in school libraries. Quite frankly, I didn't get too worked up about it.  One can't fight the fight for one's values on all fronts and there are other issues that concern me more. I just chose to ignore this issue rather than get worked up about it.  Not that I didn't believe the ones making the charge were telling the truth but I thought it is was not that big of a deal.  I reasoned that no doubt occasionally a book of questionably age-appropriateness worked its way into the curriculum or library shelves but I assumed it was rare.  

Also, I know what offends one parent may be perfectly OK with another parent and one can't please everybody. I grew up in a fundamentalist household, where mixed swimming was forbidden, dancing was a sin, we did not have dice or playing cards in the house, and only sinners drank.  My father would have objected to a book if in the story someone had a glass of wine or a shot of whiskey. He would have also objected to books that treated evolution as a valid scientific theory  I would not have wanted my father to be the one deciding which books could be in a school library. 

Another reason I have not gotten too worked up over which books are in school libraries is because I have seen woke progressives work to get books like Tom Sawyer and To Kill a Mocking Bird removed from schools. I generally oppose censorship and think libraries, even school libraries, should rarely remove a book because a person objects. I am just not that comfortable, letting the loudest voice deny access to literature to those who may want to read it. The most offended should not have that much power.

Also, Mom's for Liberty, the group behind the push to remove certain books from schools, appeared downright silly at times when they objected to certain books. Reportedly, Mom's has objected to a book about sea horses because two sea horses entwine their tails and the sea horses look too sexy.  Also, they opposed a book about Johnny Appleseed and a book about Ruby Bridges, and one about Martin Luther King. I didn't dig deep into the controversy, I just kind of dismissed the group. In addition to looking silly for some of the books they wanted to ban, they took the lead in fighting masking in schools.  To me, they appeared prudish, silly, narrow-minded, and maybe a little bigoted. 

Well, there is a problem.  There is real hard-core porn in our schools. I have received a letter from Cindy Goddard, chapter chair of the Davidson County Chapter of Mom's for Liberty. It contained a list of dozens of books in Metro libraries that are hardcore pornographic. It not only listed the books but summarized the content. I am not talking about soft-core romantic novels or mild literary erotica. I am talking porn.  I have seen porn; this is the real deal. This is the hard stuff!

I intended to post a link to the list or a link to the document so one could download it.  I cannot figure out how to post a downloadable file to this blog and cannot find a link to the document on Mom's for Liberty website.  I assume if you contact Ms Goddard she would share the list with you. If you contact me, I will send it to you in an email.  My email address is Rodwilliams47@yahoo.com.  

I have hesitated to post what I am posting below.  It is obscene. As they say, it is NSFW. However, I think it is important that people know what is in Metro school libraries, so for that reason, I am posting an excerpt from the document compiled by Ms Goddard. I am not cherry-picking the worst example, I am printing the first page of the document.
