Explicitly sexual, and even violently sexual, books found in B.C. school libraries have sparked an outcry that has especially flared up in Chilliwack School District 33.

One of the books, “Identical,” by Ellen Hopkins, details a father raping his 7-year-old daughter. “I was traumatized,” District 33 Trustee Heather Maahs told The Epoch Times. “I cannot imagine what that would do to a child reading it or an adolescent.”
