A non-binary high school teacher in California has set up a “queer classroom library” for students who are exploring their own identity and seeking answers to confusing questions. The library includes books that explore graphic sexual acts like sex acts like BDSM, kink, dildos, and orgies with multiple partners. The teacher, Flint, post a video to her thousands of TikTok followers about how helpful “queer” books can be for underage students who are still exploring their identity.
Flint posted a video to TikTok of them opening up a box of new Pride flags, and speaking about their queer library. They acknowledged that people aren’t happy with it, but Flint explained how the resources are instrumental for children who are trying to figure out their gender and sexual identities.
“People get really mad about my queer library. I have like two hundred titles that are specific to the LGBT community that I’ve been curating for over eight years,” the teacher says in the video posted on TikTok.
They added, “Don’t get me wrong, my students love that library. It has been very helpful for many students figuring out who they are, and how to relate to their peers.”
Parents are outraged that a high school teacher in Flint, California has been giving young students access to controversial books about sex orgies and how to use dildos for maximum pleasure. The teacher argues that the books help students figure their own lives out, but many parents believe they are too graphic and inappropriate for minors.
“There shouldn’t be porn allowed in classrooms,” said one parent, David Averell. “What was in the classroom pretty much made me sick.”
Parents, students, and community members are outraged after watching Flint’s video about her queer classroom library as well as dozens of other similar videos posted on TikTok.
The books are available for anyone to borrow free of charge and are set up in an easily accessible location in the English and film teacher’s classroom, despite previous claims by the Capistrano Unified School District.
One of the books in the queer classroom library is titled “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Being Trans.” The book references BDSM, including a reference to FetLife – a website that helps people connect with new partners in the “kink community.”
“I find the BDSM/kink community to be extremely open-minded and welcoming in every way; it’s a place of sexual liberation,” the book reads. “There is often more blanket level of acceptance of transgender people within the kink/BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) scenes and sites such as FetLife.”
Apparently, students as young as fourteen years old have access to this teacher’s queer classroom library and are able to read materials contained within the books.
Should this California high school teacher be allowed to host a queer library in their classroom?
