Parents: Why is this porn in our kids' library?

Concerned parents whose children attend Hastings Public Schools found a creative way to protest the availability of a sexually explicit book.

At last Wednesday’s school board meeting, parents and grandparents held up signs protesting the district’s approval of Maia Kobabe’s “Gender Queer,” a graphic novel that depicts oral sex and masturbation.

One woman, standing directly behind Superintendent Bob McDowell, held a sign reading, “Your superintendent approved sexually explicit materials for your kids,” while a boy held one reading, “Our innocence is worth protecting.”
