Looking for Books at the Prairie Grove Grade School District Banned in Other School Districts

After reading the Chicago Tribune’s op-ed piece by Clarence Page on banned books, I wondered what the situation is in McHenry County.

The image for the column is a man reading something called “Gender Queer.”

So, I sent out a Freedom of Information request to school Districts. I lot bounced back because of being tied to individuals’ email addresses.

I picked these three books:

  • “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe
  •  “Out of Darkness” by Ashley Hope Pérez
  • “The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas

and asked if the district had them and, if so, when were they purchased, plus whether had been withdrawn from circulation.

Request: “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maia Kobabe, “Out of Darkness” by
Ashley Hope Perez, “The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas

  1. Which, if any, of the aforementioned books are in your library and the purchase date
    Response: The district has no responsive records to your request.
  2. Which, if any, have been withdrawn from your library and the date on which that occurred
    Response: The district has no responsive records to your request.

  1. It’s fascinating how phony and fearful of full disclosure liberals are.

    They KNOW what they are doing is wrong, harmful, and inept.

    Yet they keep trying to push their failed agenda.

  2. CLM, exactly!

    They prefer the darkness, where their dark souls can dance before the bonfire of the vanities.

    When pornography and books by Marx and the evil Fromm were burnt in Germany and Holland in the 1930s it was done symbolically — as a cathartic.

    A new country free from the taloned grip of jewry and sickness.

    This symbolic act recurs in healthy localities from time to time:

  4. Perhaps a “Parent Oversight Committee of Library” is needed in every grammar school K-8 (maybe high school also). It would be a voluntary committee of parents having children at the school. Members would have access to the entire listing of books and materials of the library. Upon formation, a total review of every single book and material would be done by committee members to determine suitability of books/material for K-8 students.

    Books/material determined to cover sex, sexual deviancy, suicide, mutilation, murder, violence, etc would have to be removed by authority granted to the committee by the principal and/or the school board. Any new book/material proposed to be placed in the library by the librarian would first have to be approved by the committee.

  5. Oh for F’s sake Bred.

    Orwell, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Salinger, Mark Twain have all written books banned by nitwits.

    Stick to playing the banjo ‘Deliverance’ style on the porch.

  6. Meanwhile ‘lepred’ from his Brazilian Condo lair, has just missed the early bird special at the Schnitzel Garden.

  7. Don’t worry Lepre, Monk and DJ both have copies of Flamer on their shelves.

    Cal, that’s another one you should add to your list – Flamer.

  8. Flamer? Excellent read I highly recommend.

    The harrowing tale of the last true hero in Chicago history.

    Mrs O’Leary’s Cow.

  9. In a fair world, I’d get tenure and a Distinguished Chair in Abnormal Psychology at Harvard, for my comments and observations.

  10. DJ, quit stalking Catalina Lauf and trying to steal her underwear.

    Maybe I should delete the above suggestion, because I don’t want you to prey on little kids and your stalking is somehow less dangerous and takes your time and focus off children.
