It’s a start…
One of Barack the crazed porn books for kids promoted by Barack Obama’s Safe School’s Czar Kevin Jennings was removed from a New Jersey high school this week.

As founder and executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Jennings approved of and promoted several filthy sex books for children. Scott Baker from Breitbart-TV.com and Co-Host of ‘The B-Cast‘ submitted a shocking report to Gateway Pundit blog back on December 4, 2009. The report detailed the reading list promoted to 7-12 grade students by Kevin Jennings’ GLSEN organization. This material has not been reported in detail at Big Government website. Kevin Jennings is still the nation’s Safe Schools Czar. But, at least one new Jersey library won’t be carrying one of his org’s books.
The New York Daily News reported:

Complaints from a member of Glenn Beck’s 9.12 Project have caused a New Jersey library to shelve a book aimed at gay teenagers.

The book, called “Revolutionary Voices: A Multicultural Queer Youth Anthology,” is a collection of first-person essays by gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens, sharing their stories of coming out of the closet.

Calling it “pervasively vulgar, obscene, and inappropriate,” Beverly Marinelli, a New Jersey mother, successfully lobbied to have the book removed from the library at Rancocas Valley Regional High School, the Talking Points Memo (TPM) website reports.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Marinelli’s efforts were inspired by right-wing blogger Gateway Pundit’s attacks on Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s openly gay Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free schools.

Marinelli and another member of Beck’s 9.12 Project also lodged a similar complaint in another nearby school district.

Librarians responded quickly to the complaints, ordering all copies of the book to be taken out of circulation.

“We need to pull ‘Revolutionary Voices’ from our shelves,” librarian Gail Sweet wrote in an email, obtained by TPM. “Copies need to totally disappear.”

Sweet called the book “child pornography” when asked to explain why the library had banned it.

“We do not like to remove books,” Sweet wrote in an email. “It was felt, however, that the book was not appropriate.”

“Revolutionary Voices” was named among the best adult books for high school students by the School Library Journal in 2001, and was in the school’s library to help young people struggling with issues of sexuality.

Though Marinelli has not read much of the book, according to the Inquirer, she did cite a specific illustration of Boy Scouts watching two men have sex, calling it “the worst.”

She says she isn’t a “homophobe,” just a “normal mother and grandmother” defending her conservative values.

“We did it for the children,” she told the Inquirer.

According to its official website, Beck’s 9.12 Project is aimed at Americans “looking for direction in taking back control of our country.”

Congrats Beverly Marinelli!

Of course, there are several more of these controversial sex books still sitting in school libraries across the country. But, at least one New Jersey school won’t be carrying this filth in the school library.

  1. Great news and great work! Question: do the kids still have to sing hymns to al-Bama prior to the start of their day of indoctrination?

    Lenin: Class-based International Socialism
    Hitler: Race-based National Socialism
    Obama: Class- and Race-based Post-National Socialism

    aah, bless you & others who are fighting this fight GP..

    and many thanks as well..

    take care.. (((hugs)))

  3. “Sweet called the book “child pornography” when asked to explain why the library had banned it.”

    It’s good to know a librarian can, in no uncertain terms, till recognize p*rn.

    It would be interesting to know who runs, and who funds, the School Library Journal that gave this p*rn the great accolades in the first place.

  4. ACLU got itself involved next day. No surprise here.

  5. Glen Beck supporter did this? Sounds like we need a whole lot more of them then, doesn’t it.

  6. Bravo! This is how we have to fight the progressive monsters,starting at the local level. This “award winning” book is without a doubt destructive child porn written for the purpose of indoctrinating vulnerable kids into accepting and participating in deviant sex.

  7. What is it about this book that makes it problematic?

  8. Love how they refer to GP as a right-winger. The mainstream media just doesn’t understand we are not right-wingers; we are freedom loving Americans who do not wish to see our country and constitution trampled by progressive socialists and commies. Just like the teabagger slur, they love to throw out right-winger and neocon to segregate those who actually stand for what our founders believed in.

  9. Just one more lesson that we not only have to take our country back at the national and state levels, but back at the local, school and otherwise cultural level as well. These vermin will not go away quietly, however, and it’s more a matter of persistence and vigilance than anything else.

  10. I guess reading is a lost art. Congress does not read their bills and high school librarian do not read the books they put on the shelves.

  12. :0 — shocked, I say. Obama’s Kiddie Porn Czar will be upset about this.

    Great job, GP, Jim Hoft, Glenn Beck fan, and all who were involved.

  13. When we give control back to the republicans and mind you they will be on probation, the evil pervert Jennings must be investigated for crimes against children!

    Thank you, Jim, for this wonderful story. Finally some good news.

    Thank you to all of our wonderful American Patriots.

  14. Oh yeah, forgot out Jennings already. The number of extremist liberals in the Obama administration has left me dizzy. How do we keep up with them all? It really is easier to just say everybody associated with Obama is an extremist liberal. Everybody, no exceptions. And that includes everyone who voted for Obama, unless they have repented and undergo educational therapy. That appears to work. I’m inviting any liberal to name one, just one person in Obama’s world that is not an extremist liberal. Just one?

  15. Gotta love the headline “Book aimed at gay teens banned from N.J. public library after complaints from Glenn Beck supporter.”

    Makes it look as if it was some good book to help homosexual teens with their problems, but the evil Beck supporter Nazi had it removed.

  16. I hope this is just the beginning.

    Good job Beverly!

  17. Jim Hoft—- am the 912 lady you speak of in your article. I have been vilified other than here. It is so nice to hear support after the hate email,one sided news,TV reports and hate phone calls I have had.
    Jim, please contact me thru my email for my phone number–I would like to speak w/ you

  18. Concerned 28 – You have real cojones to stick your neck out like that for the sake of children. You should be rewarded for it.

    There must be more like you everywhere in this nation.

  19. Good ole R.V.R.H.S.

  20. :-) I know Beverly. She’s a feisty lady and a huge asset to our 9/12 group. You go girl!

  21. Good for you, Mrs. Marinelli! Believe me, most of us support what you’re doing but it’s the degenerate libertine Ruling Class that owns the megaphone.

  22. Funny… nobody forces anyone to read a certain book or magazine and nobody forces anyone to listen to a radio program or watch a TV show to which they object. But I guess being able to choose for yourself isn’t important we should have the authorities decide for us.

    Forcing kids to read certain books is one thing but having 1 book out of 40,000 in a library banned? No thanks this is un-American.

    .. As a psychologist who worked in public schools prior to my work in Children’s Hospitals, I know how challenging ‘sticking your neck out’ for decency can be.
    Thank you for your diligent work on behalf of our kids..GP & GB included.
    I strongly urge every parent to find some time to get active in your child’s school..it’s impossible to overstate how important your involvement is,especially when choosing to keep them in public school.

    We’re talking about leaving around (and encouraging students to read) what amounts to literature encouraging sexual relationships between adults and children here, not just having the random copy of the Catcher in the Rye on the shelf.

    Remember that in high school we have children who are not yet at the age of consent. I think that actively preventing the “choice” of reading such “literature” has less to do with being American and more to do with parenting. What would your mother have said had she found such “literature” under your mattress when you were 14 or 15?

  25. Terry Rakolta would be proud.

  26. Harrison #27
    It hardly makes sense to argue with someone who is comparing apples and oranges. Rakolta’s run-in with Fox was about a prime time show that was targeting at late prime time audiences. The show’s content was bordering on questionable, but that was all.
    That attack was 1) questionable, 2) used the operations of a free market to protest so it, in effect, was depending on a consensus to determine the outcome.

    In this case the book in question is targeting children and contains pictures and stories that, outside the protective walls of academia, might easily provoke child pornography litigation.

  27. The New York Daily News has to be exposed on each and every conservative blog, radio and television. That journal has to dip its nose in the mud of the stinky details promoted in those books, explain them to the public, so that everyone can see what they are about, and then justify the present lousy article and the ignorant comments below it.

    re: [“Copies need to totally disappear.”]

    makes me ponder if it was legal for Jennings to have placed that PORN book
    on those school library shelves to begin with (perhaps the real reason for the
    so called “banning”, but we’ll never know.. FACT IS: if it weren’t for GP et al
    blogs, we wouldn’t have known & it would still be there)..

    ==

  29. The woman who led the campaign in her home state said she didn’t read much of the book. Rakolta’s argument was different however she said Married w/Children was obscene. I would say very few people would A) go to the library B) know the book exists C) read it. Although I have not seen the book I’m sure 100,000% more pornographic images can be seen online and accessed by anybody in the privacy of their home.

    This book should not be banned and is different from the My Two Dads book in the early-90s.

  30. Harrison,
    Have you read what is in this book? Seen the excerpts? It makes “my two dad’s” look like mother goose. This isn’t just ANY library. This is a school library. Unless you are a member of NAMBLA (and I’m beginning to suspect you are) there is no reason you should argue it belongs in a library meant for children as young as 14.

  31. I read excerpts of it online. Yes it is not suitable for young children. The problem is all of this stuff is available online I’m sure plus much more. Banning a book… it’s like removing one drop from the ocean. I seriously doubt someone will read this book and decide to pork a 12 year old or someone will “turn gay” because of it.

    Should Mein Kampf be banned as it is in Germany? Where to draw the line is the issue.

    There are more risque things on Skinamax.

  32. Again, we are talking about a high school library. We are talking about child pornography (including explicit stories about very young children having sex with adults). No blurred lines here. No slippery slope. Give it up sucker.

  33. ++

    Earth to Harrison..

    Though Marinelli has not read much of the book, according to the Inquirer, she did cite a specific illustration of Boy Scouts watching
    two men have sex, calling it “the worst.”

  34. “On rare occasion, we have situations where a piece of material is not what it appears to be on the surface and the material is totally inappropriate for a school library. In that case, yes, it is appropriate to remove materials. If it doesn’t fit your material selection policy, get it out of there.”
