Beyond Magenta: A Transgender Teen Speaks Out. Appropriate book for public school libraries?
Once a Formal Reconsideration committee decision is made, a copy is sent to the Superintendent and the School Board. I did ask for the committee members names and the Superintendent/School Board responses, if any. I was told they did not record committee members names or meeting minutes. Or the way they voted. I was told the Formal Reconsideration Committee responses had not been sent to the Superintendent or Board, as of yet.
I sent a complaint to Ken Paxton's office concerning the transparency of committee members and meeting minutes. Paxton’s office ordered CISD to release book reconsideration committee names and how they voted when they tried to withhold the information.
When Ken Paxton's office responds, I will let you know. Every Principal in CFISD, (who has a copy of Beyond Magenta in their library) along with their Reconsideration committees, found Beyond Magenta educationally suitable/appropriate for preteens/teens.
Decide for yourself if this book is educationally suitable/appropriate. For pics of more books available in our school libraries, please see my other blogposts.
Teen diagnosed with gender dysphoria and intersex. Have you had this "talk" yet with your kid? Do you want them to come across this book and be taught with you unaware?
Do you believe this is an educationally suitable book for students in a public school library? Especially middle school? Where a student can go to study, use books for homework, and classroom projects. School libraries should be safe for children, not full of pornography and ideologies you may not want your kid exposed to.
Should a public school librarian be buying these books with your money? You decide.
