An openly homosexual school board member in Fairfax County, Virginia, was just sworn into office on a stack of sexually explicit books that many leftists insist are being banned.

I’ve seen this done before, so I assume this is some new progressive trend. The left loves theatrics, so here we go.

Well, there’s a public policy point that must be made here. None of the books were ever banned! Just another lie of the left.

Any adult, in any city, can get these books anytime they want. Any misguided adult can give the books to their kids for Christmas if they want.

The only issue regarding these books is that concerned parents and taxpayers have said there is no reason why anyone other than parents should be sharing these sexually graphic books with children in our public schools and libraries.

In fact, the author of one of these graphic books agrees and says it’s not meant for kids.

So, why in the heck are leftist bureaucrats and politicians trying to force these books on our children?!

The left and their media allies are well on their way to establishing “book banning” as a major issue in 2024. Their narrative is that Republicans want to control what you read and Democrats are protecting your freedom. If that’s the issue, we will lose.

So, Republicans at every level must spend political capital on this before it becomes a losing issue for them.

By the way, that goes for pastors, too. Pastors should spend some time on Sundays discussing this. Ironically, if a school board candidate was sworn in on the Bible and then gave it to their child to take to school, there would be a firestorm of protest.

Yes, the culture war is very real. And pastors and politicians who refuse to fight it will someday find themselves very much alone in a country they no longer recognize.
