The book in question is titled 'Gender Queer: A Memoir'

A speaker at a Florida school board meeting was removed for using vulgar language after reading aloud from a highly sexualized book available at the high school’s public library.

Alicia Farrant, a member of the Orange County chapter of the parent group Moms For Liberty, recorded a video from an Orange County Florida School Board meeting earlier this week where Board Chair Teresa Jacobs instructs police officers to remove a man who was reading passages from the book "Gender Queer: A Memoir.", according to Orange Observer.

"I’m going to read a passage of a book that’s floating around in your schools that has been banned from many other schools," Jacob Engels, the man who was removed, said. "As a member of the LGBT community, the fact that this is floating around for children as young as ninth grade is concerning."

Engels then began reading a passage of the book that described sexual acts using strap-on devices before he was interrupted by Jacobs.

"Sir," she said as members of the audience urged him to continue. "Mr. Engels, you’re out of order. … Remove him from the chambers."

And all he did was read a book that the school board approved.

Yet he is the one who is thrown out.

The parents in attendance should have risen up and bodily thrown out the entire board for what they are foisting on kids.

So why didn't they?

This is the problem. It's time to stop just sitting there and "taking it", because that is precisely what makes our EMPLOYEES thing they are our rulers. Stand up. Block the aisles. Have a sit in. be calm, quiet, nonviolent. If they grab you just go limp.  If you can't read it in a public meeting, what is it doing in the schools?
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
