Alaska school board censors dad who objects to library book on ‘kinks, fantasies, and porn’

An Alaska father who objected to school books depicting anal sex and porn was silenced by the board during his public comment.

Jay McDonald, a local school reform advocate, spoke about library books with a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda in a meeting for the Anchorage School Board on Feb. 7.

“We don’t often see specific examples of what diversity, inclusion and equity looks like, though,” McDonald told the board. “So, today I brought an excellent representation. This is like the archetype of diversity, inclusion, equity material – this was one of the books that was recently purchased for the libraries.”

McDonald, who homeschools his kids, introduced the book “Let’s Talk About it,” which includes advice on watching porn, anal sex and how to edit “naughty masterpieces” – nude selfies – to send to friends, Fox News reports.

The book also describes the internet as a safe haven to meet people interested in sex.

“A great place to research fantasies and kinks safely is on the internet,” the book says. “There’s tons of people and communities out there who share your interests and have all kinds of advice.”

The board vice president, Carl Jacobs, interrupted McDonald approximately halfway through McDonald’s allotted speaking time, suggesting he “go through the appropriate processes” to protest the book, according to a video of the meeting.

Another board member defended the father, saying he should be allowed to continue, but the board voted 5-2 vote to prohibit McDonald from talking any further about the book in his remaining time.

“There are still purchase orders out for these books,” McDonald protested to the board. “Like, they’re not old things that were just put on the shelves to rot.”

McDonald then questioned why books deemed appropriate for children were inappropriate for school board meetings.

“It feels a lot like you don’t want parents to be seeing what’s being given to the kids … You’re happy to give these books to kids. It seems like you’re terrified to give them to parents, and I think it’s an absolute travesty that you cut off my time and don’t even let me have my three minutes. I think you’re breaking your own rules. Thank you,” McDonald concluded.

Emails and phone calls to the Anchorage School Board members by The Lion went unanswered.
