U.S. senators and parental rights advocates took on the Left’s “book banning” narrative head-on at a hearing Tuesday, saying it is simply common sense that parents have the right and duty to keep sexually explicit “children’s books” from their kids in taxpayer-funded libraries and schools.
“The ‘book ban’ narrative is a manufactured crisis to distract from families’ valid concerns about the quality of their children’s education and age-appropriate material in the classroom,” testified Nicole Neily, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

One senator at the hearing, John Kennedy, R-La., read graphic portions verbatim from two of the most controversial debated youth books, “All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto” and “Gender Queer.” The content was so perverse that Fox News had to bleep out most of Kennedy’s words for its daytime show, “Outnumbered.”

Kennedy sent out an X post, below, of the Fox-bleeped video, under the words: “You can’t play this on national television, but radicals want it in our children’s schools.”

“If you take away one thing from this hearing, know this: families’ concerns about books in schools is not ‘book banning,'” Neily told the committee. Parents Defending Education describes itself as a “membership association that gives parents the knowledge and tools they need to be effective advocates for their children’s education.
