A preschool in England has removed a book from their curriculum after children were exposed to illustrations of men kissing in bondage and transgender people with surgery scars.
Parents voiced their frustrations after it was revealed that kids as young as four had been shown the book “Grandad’s Pride,” written by award-winning author Harry Woodgate.
One illustration from the book, which has a 4+ reading age, shows transgender men with markings from breast augmentation or removal surgery, commonly referred to as “top surgery.”
Another illustration shows two men who are partially naked in leather bondage gear.
One man has a leather cod-piece wound against his crotch and garters strapped down his thighs.
Both men in the image passionately kiss.
Two East Yorkshire parents, Will and Maria Taylor, confronted Genesis Pre School in Hull about the sensitive content and were horrified when the school refused to apologize for the book.
“They argued the children would not understand or perceive erotic or sexual images. Staff claimed the image was just portraying ‘dress-up’ and would not be perceived as erotic by a child as they have no idea what ‘erotic’ is,” Will said.
