In a fiery Senate hearing, Louisiana’s Senator John Kennedy delivered a scathing critique of the inclusion of explicit content in public school libraries, specifically targeting the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson. The book has been a point of contention due to its graphic sexual content.
Kennedy, known for his candid and often humorous jabs, began by reading a particularly explicit passage from the book. The graphic nature of the content left no doubt about the Senator’s concerns regarding its appropriateness for school-aged readers.
“You come here and you say censorship is bad, and of course it’s bad… you heard the books we’re talking about. We’re not talking about ‘Catcher And The Rye.’ So tell me what you want, who gets to decide?” Kennedy exclaimed.
“And parents have nothing to do with it? If that’s your response, what planet did you just parachute in from? Or what country, more appropriately. This is not China!”
