Nonprofit legal foundation America First Legal (AFL) is investigating the Biden Education Department’s decision to appoint a “coordinator” at the agency, a move said to be aimed at trampling parental rights and promoting “vulgar gender-extremist books” in classrooms.
Over the past years, “age-inappropriate” books have been bought by government run-schools and placed in K-12 schools under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said a July 27 letter (pdf) sent by AFL to the Department of Education (DoE). Many of these books encourage children “to engage in sexual activity, question their biological sex, and avoid parental involvement in their mental, physical, and emotional well-being.” Parents have challenged the presence of such books in schools in accordance with the rights granted under the U.S. Constitution and state laws.
