Back in the mid-70s there was an infamous XXX cult classic movie released called Debbie Does Dallas. It was hard, no pun intended, not to miss the billboard in front of the Newington NH XXX drive-in on rt 16. This movie was playing there for a long time. And made many returns.

Minors were not allowed into the drive-in, per state law on adult entertainment, as it should be.
Fast forward to the past five years. With help from the ALA, School library journal, School Board assn., Publishers Weekly, Kirkus reviews, etc. Sexually explicit books have been added to the public library children’s room, public schools, SORA, and the online school library. Parents are none the wiser.
Below are pornographic excerpts from one of the many books available to children in public schools. If you have delicate sensibilities, you’ve been warned, but if your wondering what the fuss is about, read on. When you compare the two, the 70s flick is mild in comparison to the books in NH schools. They both involve teen girls and sexual relationships with older men.
In Tricks, it’s also father’s having sex with daughters. Question is, what possible literary value or message is the school library trying to send to our teenagers?
The defenders of the porn, the Dover School board, are saying they have positive messages and are highly awarded books, yet they cannot possibly be reading them. If they are, these people do not belong anywhere near school children nor deemed reasonable judges when it comes to choosing books.
Currently, there are over 100 books that are similar to Tricks in Dover schools. The author of Tricks, Ellen Hopkins, has 15 books at the high school, equally sexually explicit! Why are parents supporting this? What is the school board trying to teach our children? These are not sex education books. They are explicit instructions beyond anatomy and how babies are made. Many are harmful examples of sex, not real life experiences.
The woke mob has parents in NH believing that there’s nothing to see here or that objections are an attack on the LGBTQ community, which is not true.
They scream “freedom of speech” and yell “bigot” at concerned parents but the fact is that children have no rights until they are 18. Parents are responsible for their children, not teachers, activists, or school boards. Besides, most of the books that contain sexually explicit content are heterosexual.
Look at the Dover list and read them for yourself.
Since when do we permit children to read and see porn? See?
Parents must have the knowledge and option to know what the schools are making available through their libraries online and in classrooms. The firewalls are not working. Getting around firewalls with the Chromebooks is considered a challenge; to access areas the school is supposed to protect them from, but they can access many sites through the browser and the hyperlinks in the SORA app.
The explicit books in schools and children’s sections of the public library send a clear message to children the behavior in these books is acceptable, but children cannot process pornography. Many adults cannot process porn either. Why is this allowed, and to what end are the school boards going to ruin children?
These books are written by ADULTS to groom children. The experiences are adult experiences, not a child’s experiences.
Drug use, alcohol, suicide, self-mutilation and other horrors are in all these books. What happened to D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and keeping children away from drugs and alcohol? Next, there’ll need S.A.R.E (Sex Abuse Resistance Education).
Through these books, we are telling children drugs are cool; all the sex, rape, and pedophilia are ok!
Many “graphic novels” have sexually explicit images and exploration you would normally find in Penthouse, yet you cannot get a Penthouse at the library, “too graphic,” the librarian said.
Start reading these books through a child’s lens. They glorify sexual behavior and lay it all out with step-by-step instructions at schools through books paid for by our taxes.
The newly anointed review committee in Dover was formed this month without public knowledge. Not one notice went out to citizens to apply for the committee and no minutes on how it was created: no charters or guidelines. Five people were chosen to respond to the challenged books. The clandestine group decided to purchase, with our taxes, 5 more of the challenged books rather than get them free online or through the library download.
No one will answer what will happen to the additional tax-funded porn books? Taxpayers are being punished for bringing books up for the challenge by spending more tax money that will only support authors who groom children! Didn’t see that one coming.
And back to Debbie, does Dallas. Why, after years of protecting children from hypersexualization, is the school board pretending the content is no big deal? They say it’s the overall message, and children need these books to help them navigate life’s challenges. They claim some are sex-ed books; I cannot disagree more; they are sex-ed for adults, the pornography version.
Not too long ago, children were protected from pornography movies/books like DDD, and children could not buy them. So why are these obscene books being forced into schools, onto children, on the taxpayers’ dime, and why is it impossible to get rid of them?
Editors Note: If you would like to get a better sense of the material being added to school libraries, here is link to a video about the content from that was too explicit and the media could not broadcast.
