In Penfield, New York, a recent school board meeting became contentious as parents voiced strong objections to the inclusion of "The Rainbow Parade" in the elementary school library. The book depicts a young girl attending an LGBTQ pride parade with her two mothers and includes illustrations of individuals in BDSM attire, drag queens, and nudity. Parents deemed these images inappropriate for young children.
U.S. Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) published a resource guide Monday for parents who are waging battles against Critical Race Theory (CRT) in their local school districts.
