FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va.—Virginia Beach City Public Schools have decided to keep a book teaching masturbation and gender identity in its middle school libraries. While the book was in two middle school libraries when it was challenged in July, a third middle school has acquired it and featured it in the recently added books collection.
The book “Sex Is a Funny Word: A Book About Bodies, Feelings, and You,” written by Cory Silverberg and illustrated by Fiona Smyth, includes images of a child touching herself in the bathtub.
