Well how about that.
Democrat Connecticut State Rep. Larry Butler was absolutely appalled after his colleague, Republican State Rep. Anne Dauphinais, read a passage from a book she said was in elementary school libraries.
State. Rep Butler said that in the 18 years he's spent as a state representative, he's never heard such "vulgarity" as he heard coming out of State. Rep Dauphinais' mouth.
"But to actually repeat the vulgarity in them, on this floor, is something that we should never hear," argued State. Rep Butler. "Who does that?"
It’s OK for young kids to read graphic, sexually-charged books in their libraries—just don’t read excerpts from those books in the House Chamber because Democrats think the language is vulgar. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/D4tmCWsHry

State. Rep Butler complained that "he wasn't raised like that" and "he certainly didn't come" to the House Chamber to "hear it."
He then chastised State. Rep Dauphinais for "stooping to this level" to disagree on a bill.
As a reminder here is State. Rep Dauphinais reading from the book in question, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," and getting called out for using that kind of "language" when children might be listening. She was further asked to use a different word "out of respect" and so that "others don't get offended."
If you’re not watching the debate in the CT House of Representatives over the next two-year state budget, you might’ve just missed this exchange about the permissibility of talking about “eating pussy” during legislative debate.

Coincidentally, the exact same book that Butler finds so vulgar is available in the public schools in his own district of Waterbury.
Kennedy High School has a copy.
Two middle schools have copies: North End Middle School and West Side Middle School.
Plus there's even a copy in Carrington Elementary School... because apparently even Waterbury children in grades K-5 who are aged 5-11 need the "freedom to read" books about eating p*ssy.
By the way, if State. Rep Butler is legitimately upset about the vulgarity contained in this book, then why the hell isn't he calling on Waterbury Public Schools to remove the obscene content from its libraries, instead of yelling at the representative who pointed out how obscene some of these library books are?
