We have a newly elected school board in Wicomico County that makes up the majority of the board. However, no priority has been given to the sexually explicit materials used in our schools. In fact, amendments have been recently made to the Selection and Review of Textbooks, Instructional Materials, and Media Materials Policy INS-SCH-PL-008 at the last board meeting held on May 9, 2023. All members voted AYE to add provisions that now open the door for such materials. In this policy, the board surrendered their full authority to the superintendent and media specialists, permitting full control over the book and media selection. Now, anything goes.
The initial ordering of books is now easier than ever. However, there is a lengthy procedure to request the removal of an inappropriate book if a parent were to file a complaint. This procedure results in a dead-end denial 99.9% of the time, and it’s by design.
The past and current board have failed to define “appropriate.” Therefore, the term has been crafted into a gray area in order to be elusive. What is the unit of measure to determine appropriate? It all comes down to an individual’s perception centered on their own personal desires, who then apply those desires to define what’s appropriate for the environment. It then becomes a liberal/conservative battle over the word appropriate when it comes to morality. In the end, the individuals who are ultimately responsible are our elected board members.
“Book burners,” the liberals declare! “The Nazis burned books in Germany and that did not end well,” they all say. They all regurgitate the same play card and statements like broken records in order to vilify parents and advance their political agenda in order to groom minor children for their own deviant sexual desires. Nobody is out to ban or censor books in the library. It’s about what’s appropriate and necessary for a school environment to properly and responsibly educate our children without a political or sexual agenda.
Are sexually-explicit materials really necessary in order to educate our children?
Absolutely disgusting! We had this issue before and is not only still an issue, they made matters worse with a loose-ended policy that invites and protects the smut. I don’t know who came up with this policy (probably administration) and the board just rubber stamped it. They are ultimately responsible in the end. We the people must hold them accountable!
Oh pleaze!!!

Homeschool!
Dang, Darren, your chosen BOE members are already failing you and the Delmarva Conservative Movement. We expected better out of Susan Beauchamp and Kristin Hazel!
Things are so bad for Darren “The Pedo” Lombardo that he is actually at war with Julie “two bankruptcies” Giordano now….
Prep school susan sent all her kids to private school and for years put more effort into issues at the local country club…..she was born rich and has never been a real county resident like the rest of us who have tried hard to improve our schools….what a phoney, bored housewife….go back to the kitchen.
I think if I was a kid and saw books like this, I just might pretend to look them over and then lose them…permanently.
Parents better wake up. Those that leave their children in the public school system are sacrificing them. Since school is ending for the year, it would be wise to seek alternative options.
But wait……the White House wants to ban chocolate milk from elementary schools.
Way more important than books. Who the hell reads today anyways? Thats so 20th century. Computer games, twatter, tick tac toe, spinterest, and jack-in-the-box are what the kids do to commuicate and learn from today.
Cmon man, Army hired an actor to do voice overs for the new Be all You can Be recruitment efforts. Hes a harasser, abuser and strangler.
Navy has cross dressers on social media, flauting wearing womens clothes AND performing for fellow service member on the USS Ronald Reagan
AirFoce fully supports LGB alphabet soup days and festivals.
And our kids need books? Bwahahahahahahahahhahahah
It’s as if a house was on fire and people are ignoring the smoke alarms …lulled into a fatal deception. How bad do things have to be in order for people to see? How much more light can be shined on the darkness before things are recognized? Or is it that people are so desensitized that they accept and rationalize just anything as “ok” for the kids? Aren’t we supposed to protect them in this evil world? Instead they are being led right into the darkest corners, stripped of any moral compass … by the very adults that claimed to be their champions.
