Judge says, "Put the sex books back on the shelf!"

Lesbian Judge says school board can't remove sexually explicit books

A school board in Colorado cannot remove sexually explicit, profane, and “transgender” books from school libraries because the school board is conservative, according to a federal judge touted as the first openly lesbian judge west of the Mississippi.

The ACLU’s Colorado chapter filed a suit on behalf of two minors, the NAACP Wyoming State Area Conference, and the Authors Guild, claiming that the school district engaged in viewpoint discrimination when removing the books.

The judge granted a preliminary injunction in March, forcing the Elizabeth School District (in Elizabeth, a suburb southeast of Denver) to restore the books.

“The court questions what could be more partisan or political than removing books to further the board’s self-described conservative values” said the first LGBT woman to serve as a federal district judge west of the Mississippi.

The judge never even considered whether the “conservative values” involved protecting children’s innocence or prioritizing reading, writing, and arithmetic over sexual lessons at young ages.
