In lieu of the traditional Bible, two newly-elected schools board members in separate states chose to be sworn-in on a stack of LGBT books, including some that have been banned from schools across the country.
Karl Frisch, an openly gay Democrat, was sworn-in on Dec. 16 as the new chairman of the Fairfax County School Board, Virginia on a stack of controversial books that included “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” “Gender Queer,” “Lawn Boy,” The Perks of Being a Wallflower,“ and ”Flamer.”
