Is the title Tilt by Ellen Hopkins appropriate for CFISD school libraries?


When I purchased the book Tricks by Ellen Hopkins to review, I also purchased her title Tilt. Tilt is full of underage sex scenes, drug use and profanity. Very similar to Tricks. 



















 
Here is a list of what CFISD schools Tilt is available in:

I did file a formal reconsideration on Tricks and the school responded. Please read the blog for Tricks: https://cfisdvolunteer.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-book-tricks-helps-kids-learn-about.html

Colleen Hoover's sexually explicit novels available in CFISD libraries.

Image
  A 15 year old CFISD student told me last week that kids at his school were passing around Colleen Hoover’s books. Why? Because they are well known for being sexually explicit. Colleen warns us on Good Reads and on her author website: I looked online at CFISD libraries to see if any of these books were available. I was surprised to find 23 different titles and over 40 copies at various schools.  I ordered 3 titles to see how sexually explicit they are. Verity, It Ends with Us and Ugly Love.  Verity by Colleen Hoover Reader’s Warehouse rates Verity for 21+. (CFISD also has the title Too Late available to minors rated 21+ by Reader’s Warehouse.)   Colleen Hoovers title, It Ends With Us, is also available in CFISD libraries: Let’s take a look: Do you think Verity and It Ends With Us is appropriate for a school library where teens go to study? Would you like your teen to read this book? Please look up statistics on teens addicted to pornography.  Book 3 I orde...

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison is another title in CFISD libraries I filed a Formal Reconsideration on.  CFISD libraries The Blue Eye is available in: The Bluest Eye, purchased with our tax money by CFISD librarians, has numerous sex scenes which makes it pornographic and unsuitable for minors.  Please look at some sample text from my personal copy: Descriptive Pedophilia:                                                           Descriptive Sex Scenes:                                                A sample of the numerous profane statements: The descriptive rape of an 11 year old by her father: These are the official CFISD Principal/Formal Reconsideration Committees responses citing The Bluest Eye is educationally...

Should CFISD be promoting Gender Identity in Elementary School Libraries? PreK-5th Grade?

Image
 I went to the CFISD library system for Elementary, and typed in "Gender Identity." 25 Titles concerning Gender Identity pulled up in our CFISD Elementary schools.  Some of the books had anywhere from 14-39 copies! Examples from the title "Being You" by Madison, Ralli, Passchier Examples from the title "It Feels Good to Be Yourself" by Theresa Thorn: Are you ok with your elementary age child being taught you could have misgendered them?  Is this why you send your child to school? To be taught sexuality?  Or did you send them to school to learn academics?  Are you good with your tax money going to these library books? Examples from the title Jacob's New Dress by Sarah and Ian Hoffman: Examples from the title Jacob's Room To Choose by Sarah and Ian Hoffman: In Jacob's Room to Choose, the elementary age children are led by their teacher to decide that boys and girls can share bathrooms. Are you ok with your child sharing bathrooms with the opposit...
