On Friday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about a new policy that the Biden administration is creating. Recently, Forsyth County Public Schools (FCPS), a school district outside of Atlanta, reviewed their school libraries to flag age-inappropriate sexual material for removal.<\/p>\n

The article explains what happened next:<\/p>\n

Though the review process focused exclusively on sexual content and ended with the return<\/a> of nearly all of the books under inspection to school library shelves, the Education Department\u2019s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) nevertheless opened an investigation into whether the district\u2019s book review had created a \u201chostile environment\u201d based on race and sex that the school district had unlawfully failed to remedy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than invite federal sanctions, FCPS cut short this investigation by entering into a resolution agreement<\/a> with OCR. One particularly concerning provision of that \u201cvoluntary\u201d agreement requires the school district to issue a statement reassuring students \u201cthat the District strives to provide a global perspective and promote diversity\u201d in curating its library catalog \u2014 despite the fact that no federal civil rights law mandates such acts of worship at the altar of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 8, the White House made clear that the FCPS matter was not an isolated investigation, announcing<\/a> that OCR will appoint a new \u201ccoordinator\u201d to warn state and local education agencies that heeding parents\u2019 calls to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries could trigger the agency\u2019s enforcement authority, including the withholding of federal funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The Biden Education Department\u2019s illegal interference in school library decisions is calculated to intimidate parents and school districts that want to ensure children do not read graphic sexual content at school. The real civil rights violation at issue here is OCR\u2019s impermissible chilling of First Amendment rights regarding what books are appropriate for public school students. The president\u2019s claimed authority to silence concerned parents and restrain school districts from curating library books is nothing more than fiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Something is very wrong here. What kind of people want our school students reading sexually explicit material? What are they attempting to do to the minds of the children? At this point, any parent with any common sense needs to remove their children from public schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
