“Lawn Boy” IS pedophilic. Here’s why. (Explicit)

Published by

By Monica Chen  The author of “Lawn Boy” and his supporters say parents who want the book removed from libraries have not read it, and do not put it in the right context.  Alright, I read the book. Its pedophilic, exploitative and abusive elements go beyond the swear words and the sexual passages.  To sum up the news surrounding “Lawn Boy”: A mother in Leander, Texas, took her son to a school board meeting and read passages from the book out loud last September. That video is here. Jonathan Evison, the author of “Lawn Boy,” posted a statement to the publisher’s web site, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. That statement is here.

The parents say they are concerned the books are “grooming” children to become more susceptible to sexual abuse and sexual assault.  “We are pressing criminal charges because we want these adults to be held accountable, and we don’t want them to ever work with kids again,” said Michele Morrow, a nurse and a mother of four who lives in Cary.  Morrow is a member of Liberty First Grassroots and Education First Alliance. The loose group of parents also include members of Moms For Liberty of Wake County.  The parents had been involved in looking into critical race theory and mask mandates in schools …
