Worcester County BOE Votes For Unrestricted Access To Sexually-Explicit Books and to Exclude Taxpayers

On December 19, 2023, the Worcester County Board of Education voted on two motions to address the district’s use of sexually-explicitly books that depict and promote obscene sexual acts that are currently made available in the school district’s media centers. After hearing many false narratives designed to drive the misconceptions of book banning and discrimination against the LGBTQ community, the motions brought forth by board member Katie Addis was very clear that the concern is not about any of that, but about the age-appropriateness of the school system making sexually-explicit content available to minors, which broadly includes both heterosexual and homosexual acts alike.

She also reiterated that the existing book check-out procedures and measures only address the checkout of a book in a school media center. The procedures and measures do not address children who can currently enter a school media center and read sexually-explicit books without any kind of protections in place, rendering a parental opt-out null and void.

Addis believes in intellectual freedom with age-appropriate books. She then stated what it all comes down to, “Students should absolutely have access to a variety of literary works aligned with their interests and maturity levels, without being subjected to sexually-explicit content.”

The first motion of Addis was to create a restricted area of sexually-explicit books that would require a parent’s permission for their child to access (opt-in permission slip).

The second motion of Addis was to be inclusive of all Worcester taxpayers in the decision of book selection for their school system.

  1. Get it through your heads. You MUST pull your kids out of public schools, right now. TODAY.

    If you are a retired boomer with Gen X kids, and they both work, you should help financially them with tuition or books or time. What are you saving your retirement for? Its going to be confiscated by the communists soon, anyway.
    Whats more important, that vacation to Europe or your granddaughter (or grandson) not coming home wanting to mutilate his or her genitals? Do you not understand yet that the public schools cannot be saved, at least in the next five to ten years?

    1. Relax sport, the kids these days are looking at porn on their phones, and couldn’t care less about this trash in the schools.

      1. If they google searched the words and phrase in those books, they’d be disciplined in school, but are allowed to get a book about it in the library?

      2. Fine- when your daughter’s nudes are all over onlyFans becuase your were too “cool” a dad to stand up for morality—-dont come running to me. When your son has a permanent open wound between his legs that will forever require medical care- don’t come running to me.

    2. 9:37 – Thanks for sharing your consistent drivel on how bad the public schools are, and telling all of us what we are to do. It’s a good thing we have you here to do our thinking for us. Here’s a suggestion: You do you, and the rest of us will do as we see fit for our children without your warped thought process.

  2. So there you have it. The whole damn board, with the exception of Addis, needs to go. Remember these idiots when they are up for reelection

      1. Notice how not ONE PARENT has ever showed up in favor of the book bans or even filed a book complaint…granted, most MAGA parents are unable to read a book in the first place…

  3. This is what happens when you put democrats in any kind of elected position. They force their way of thinking on everyone and the hell with what the people that they represent think. They think they are better than everyone else

  4. No matter what they vote on, or change, this does not change the laws that already exist. These individuals are contributing to the delinquency of every minor in the system. What they are doing is no different than providing internet porn to these children. Why isnt leo placing charges on these perverted individuals, why arent they looking into the money they were paid to push this perverted agenda? Is leo afraid of what they might uncover or just because its easier to look the other way? All while good men do nothing….

    1. I remember when a bunch of conservatives banned books back in germany in the 1930s…didn’t work out too well in the end….

  5. Reminds me of what happened in Wicomico County a few years ago with Norm and Jim…
    We got rid of those two clowns and elected a different batch of communists….

  6. If Joe’s little woman did not have to depend Julie GROOMERDANO for a county job, maybe he could start reporting on the actual scandals in our county……

  7. Exclude taxpayers???? You gotta be kidding me! f it wasn’t for taxpayers, there idiots wouldn’t have jobs!! Every one of them needs to be fired! These are OUR kids, not theirs!!! That is one sick bunch of A**holes!!! They must go!

  8. How many of that board are Democrats? Please don’t tell me that school boards are non-partisan because they definitely are not. Just look how Republicans on the Wicomico School Board always vote left wing Democrats.

  9. You still think I’m crazy, I run my mouth about school vouchers well here is your chance. They are in your face with their hatred for you and GODs ideals, so now
    this deceptive lie to further this twisted evil cancer
    Defund the luciferian agenda or else we are doomed!!!
    Defund the BOE

    1. Well 6:02, I’m not sure I’d exactly call you sane, but isn’t it a better idea to raise our children with strong Christian values and teach them to speak up and advocate for themselves at an early age?
      We can’t go and run and hide from the world, but teaching your children how to contend with its failures seems to be a good thing.

  10. The policies being implemented by local school boards and the state board of education provide the opportunity to push for school vouchers.
