All across the state, school libraries 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.
Below is a link to a Parent's Guide to 95+ Explicit Books in Las Cruces Public Schools: How to Protect Your Children from Porn in NM School Libraries.
This booklet is a resource for LCPS parents who want to protect their children from age-inappropriate content.
It lists the worst books in each school and gives examples of the content of each book.
It includes instructions for parents who want to opt their kids out from these books using LCPS form IJL-E1.
Although this booklet is focused on Las Cruces, these same books are present in other districts across NM.
Will you please share this post widely, so more parents will be empowered to protect their children?
Parents who want to get involved in illuminating which age-inappropriate books are present in other school districts can email Sarah at concernedfornm@gmail.com.
