A COVID-related school board meeting in Austin, TX took quite the turn when a mother interrupted the session by ranting about anal sex. It began on Wednesday when Kara Bell interrupted the meeting to scold the board on allowing a sexually explicit book to be in the middle school library. Bell told the board that she wanted the book removed.

“I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school,” Bell told the board. “I’ve never had anal sex. I don’t want to have anal sex. I don’t want my kids having anal sex. I want you to start focusing on education and not public health!”

The book in question, Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Pérez “chronicles a love affair between an African American boy and a Mexican American girl against the backdrop of a horrific 1937 explosion in East Texas, which killed nearly 300 schoolchildren and teachers.”

According to reports, the book has since been removed. “A district possesses significant discretion to determine the content of its school libraries,” a Lake Travis Independent School District spokesperson told reporters. “A district must, however, exercise its discretion in a manner consistent with the First Amendment.”

The spokesperson added: “A district shall not remove materials from a library for the purpose of denying students access to ideas with which the district disagrees. A district may remove materials, because they are pervasively vulgar or based solely upon the educational suitability of the books in question.”
