Public schools in a Northern Virginia county have quietly removed a pro-LGBTQ book after parents criticized it for sexually explicit images, The Daily Signal has learned.
Fairfax County Public Schools in the Washington, D.C., suburbs confirmed in emails to parent Stacy Langton that school libraries across the county had removed the book “Queer: A Graphic History,” by Meg-John Barker.
“I’m surprised they did this quietly, without notifying me, the public, or the LGBTQ community,” Langton, a 55-year-old mother of two children at Fairfax High School, told The Daily Signal in a statement Wednesday. “I assume it’s because it has become such a politically charged issue, that they did not want to hand me what looks like a victory—especially with only days to go before the presidential election!”
