A Democratic-led school board in Pennsylvania’s Radnor Township has voted to reintroduce hardcore pornographic materials into high school lessons, restoring controversial books to the library. The unanimous decision reinstates titles like Gender Queer, Fun Home, and Blankets, known for their explicit content and promotion of LGBT ideology.
The 6-0 vote, with three abstentions, reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, overturned a February committee ruling that deemed the books age-inappropriate. The move has sparked outrage among parents and critics who argue the materials are unsuitable for students, intensifying debates over educational content.
Infowars.com reports: “These books are memoirs about real struggles that our students have,” board president Sarah Dunn declared. “Are you going to tell kids, ‘You can’t have your books back’?”

Disagreement remained, however, over when and how to amend the 2008 policy under which the books were initially removed. Board member DJ Thornton said it would “not be unreasonable” to have waited to return the books until after a new policy was determined, warning that “we’re setting up a precedent where we’re saying, ‘OK, we don’t like that, we’re just going to change it.’”

Gender Queer includes graphic depictions of sexual relations between a man and a boy, an explicit sampling of which can be found here. Fun Home contains illustrations of oral sex and masturbation (which one Radnor teacher defended on the grounds that the participants were 19 years old rather than minors). Blankets depicts sexual activity at church camp, with descriptions of numerous acts.
The indoctrination of children with left-wing ideology on sexuality, race, and other left-wing agenda items has long been a major concern in American public schools from libraries to athletic and restroom policy to drag events to classroom materials to even “transitioning” troubled children without parental input. Many schools have also displayed hostility to the rights and employment of individual teachers who refuse to go along with such agendas.
The Trump administration has taken steps to depoliticize public education, including by ordering the elimination of federal funds to schools that continue diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs (although that has been recently blocked by federal judges) and by reversing the Biden administration’s infusion of gender ideology into Title IX rules.
