3 Parent's Guides to Explicit Books in RRPS, APS, and LCPS

Dear New Mexicans,

Although they don't want you to know about it, school libraries across the state have many books which contain age-inappropriate, explicit content.  These are books with detailed descriptions of child rape, sex acts between adults and children, children using hard drugs and sex toys, children engaging in cutting and suicidal behaviors, excessively violent imagery, etc. Most parents have no idea that these books are present in their children's schools.

In collaboration with advocates across the state, we now have three parent's guides for:

• Albuquerque Public Schools

• Las Cruces Public Schools 

• Rio Rancho Public Schools (NEW!)

PLEASE SHARE this post with parents and grandparents, as a resource for protecting kids from age-inappropriate content. There is more info about how to get involved at the end of this post. 

PARENT'S GUIDES TO EXPLICIT BOOKS IN ALBUQUERQUE, LAS CRUCES, AND RIO RANCHO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Exposing kids to sexually explicit and sexually violent books is harmful to kids and increases the likelihood of risky sex. 

We want to make sure parents know about the age-inappropriate content their kids may be provided at school, as well as how to opt-out. 

To that end, our website now has parent's guides to explicit books in Albuquerque, Las Cruces Public Schools, and Rio Rancho Public Schools. The parent's guides can be downloaded here: www.nmfa.us/schoolbooks

These booklets are resources for Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Rio Rancho parents who want to protect their children from age-inappropriate content. They list the worst books in each school and provide information about opting out.

Will you please share the link widely, so more parents will be empowered to protect their children?

HOW YOU CAN HELP PROTECT KIDS IN YOUR DISTRICT

We have a working group of concerned parents and community members who want to protect kids from age-inappropriate content in school libraries.  

We need your help to illuminate the situation in districts all across the state. Volunteers can help by searching school library websites to compile lists of books in specific districts.

If you want to help, please email Sarah: concernedfornm@gmail.com

Thank you for taking action to empower parents to protect their children!
