A New York school district made headlines following a board meeting that went viral after parents voiced objections to an LGBT book elementary schoolers had access to that contained illustrations of naked people, with the board president ending the meeting early.
During a Penfield Board of Education meeting last Tuesday, parents objected to a book available to students titled The Rainbow Parade, authored by Emily Neilson. The book tells the story of a young girl attending a pride parade with her lesbian parents.
In addition to drawings of naked or semi-naked individuals, the book contains images of people dressed in sexual BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) gear. Another section of the book shows a man dressed as a drag queen telling the main character she should feel "proud" of her two moms.
