NY school board meeting descends into chaos over ''LGBTQIA '' book as parents voice outrage
[NYPOST] Outraged upstate New York parents took over a school board meeting this week — demanding to know why their elementary school children were exposed to an ''LGBTQIA '' book that included depictions of naked people and bondage enthusiasts.
A large and animated crowd of parents gathered in a Monroe County auditorium on Tuesday and voiced their concerns to the superintendent and Penfield school board about their young children having access to the book ''The Rainbow Parade: A Celebration of LGBTQIA Identities and Allies.''
The controversial book tells the story of a maiden of tender years and her two mothers attending an LGBT parade and follows a child who is exploring their ''gender identity.'' The book's lesson for kids is to ''break down stereotypes and embrace diversity,'' according to a description.
''The Rainbow Parade'' includes depictions of a naked person shown from behind, furries, and a gay couple outfitted in leather, BDSM (bondage/domination/sado-masochism) attire.
Students that were shown the book were in grades 1 through 5 — meaning they are roughly ages 5 through 11.
