It’s infuriating to see what’s being pushed on young children in the name of inclusivity. A book about “LGBTQIA+ identities” shouldn’t include graphic depictions of bondage and nudity for first through fifth graders. Parents have every right to be enraged.
New York Attorney General and Commissioner of Education sent a letter to all schools in the state threatening them with legal consequences if any sort of obscene LGBT material is withheld from kindergartners (AKA "Gay porn for tots rule").

Outraged upstate New York parents took over a school board meeting this week — demanding to know why their elementary school children were exposed to an “LGBTQIA+” book that included depictions of naked people and bondage enthusiasts.
A large and animated crowd of parents gathered in a Monroe County auditorium on Tuesday and voiced their concerns to the superintendent and Penfield school board about their young children having access to the book “The Rainbow Parade: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Identities and Allies.”
“The Rainbow Parade: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Identities and Allies” was assigned to students from grades 1 to 5.

“The Rainbow Parade: A Celebration of LGBTQIA+ Identities and Allies” was assigned to students from grades 1 to 5.
Penguin Young Readers Group“The Rainbow Parade” includes depictions of a naked person shown from behind, furries, and a gay couple outfitted in leather, BDSM (bondage/domination/sado-masochism) attire.
Students that were shown the book were in grades 1 through 5 — meaning they are roughly ages 5 through 11.
