Two Controversial Books

On the night of the first day of Pride Month, many parents and students are celebrating the success of the LGBTQIA+ community in Newtown, Connecticut after the controversial book, the school board decided not to ban two books.

ABC 7 News reported that for the past several weeks the books were the hottest subject of debate in Newtown due to its graphic novels that discussed coming-of-age issues including gender identity and sexuality.

The vote was so kinetic, that after a tense board meeting about the issue on May 16, two of the Republican Board of Education members resigned.

Thursday night’s meeting was not as confrontational, Janet Kuzma, one of the board members who resigned said that there were chanting, booing, yelling, swearing and constant disruptions were unprofessional and completely uncalled during that time.

The Books That Talk About Gender Identity And Sexuality Needs To Be Adapt

Joseph Crosby, a senior at Newton High School also said that the books need to be adapted.  Additionally, most students also believed that the debate was irrelevant and that those arguing for book bans were separated from the times.

Moreover, some students also are thinking that the whole concept, in a digital online world, that students would need a library for questionable material showed a detachment from the digital age.
