We have to give a huge shout out to Connecticut State Rep. Anne Dauphinais!

She had the courage to read a school library book, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, out loud in front of her peers in the Connecticut House of Representatives.

She was immediately scolded and told not to use that kind of vulgarity, and to keep decorum in the chamber -- mind you these are the same books that are being put in front of children in school libraries and the parents who complain about those books get shamed as horrible, dreadful book banners.

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.

The book State Rep. Dauphinais read from, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, was found on the library shelves in Greenwich Public Schools in 2022 -- four copies in Central Middle School and one copy in the high school.

Greenwich Patriots complained about the book in an October 2022 email to the Board of Education and Superintendent Toni Jones, highlighting the same controversial passage that State Rep. Dauphinais read, as well as the count of how many times the f-bomb was dropped, amongst other colorful language.

Superintendent Jones actually responded to our complaint about Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, which was a surprise, considering she rarely responded to parents concerned about inappropriate books.

"We checked on this book today, and it was purchased sometime between 2012-2015. The book has been checked out once by a teacher and once by a student over this timeframe. However, we do not see a reason to have this book in the middle school library and the suggested age is 14 and up so we took it off the shelf at CMS. Thank you for sharing this concern with us," wrote Jones.

The book still remains on the shelves to this very day in Greenwich High School because Jones followed the "suggested reading age" guideline on the book, which is 14 years old.

It's far from the only controversial book in Greenwich public school libraries, which have been known to actively promote controversial books to students for "banned books" week.

A couple years ago, we even created a presentation with some of the books considered potentially controversial and included screenshots so people could see exactly what is inside some of these books.

We were subsequently called "book banners" and "extremists" by many people in the community -- democrats, RINOs, the League of Women Voters, and even The Voting Moms and their "bipartisan" RTM slate that included former republican BOE member Joe Kelly -- who all seemed to think it was more important to ensure students have access to obscene and pornographic books than it was to protect the morals of students.

But if the Democrats' proposed legislation, now stuffed into the budget, to stop so-called "book banning" actually becomes law, then students will have the "freedom to read" content even more graphic than Me and Earl and the Dying Girl -- and parents won't be able to do a damn thing about it, not even complain, or else they could get sued for causing emotional distress to a librarian.

Why are so many people in Connecticut dead set on using libraries to impair the morals of children?
