在绝大多数民主党人控制的蓝州,LGBTQ 的意识形态已经统治了公立学校,学生只能接受那些极端变态的灌输,任何对 LGBTQ 思想的质疑都已经成了大逆不道。
在芝加哥西北郊的巴林顿220学区,一名华裔高中生仅仅是为了想借阅2本享有盛誉的客观分析 LGBTQ 的书籍,就受到了学校图书馆管理员通过电脑系统提示的警告,还说需要跟他 “个别谈话”,而这一切都是在有第三人在场的公众场合,使这名借书的高中生受到了极大的羞辱,似乎他是在做一件见不得人的不道德的事。难道在美国的公立学校,学生连自由探索了解各种思想观念的自由都被剥夺了吗?
这名学生的母亲 —— 杨女士 —— 禁不住在学区校董会会议的公众意见时段,向全体校董、学区总监发出质问:“这条警告信息的目的是什么 —— 是为了阻止学生接触这些书吗?还是为了羞辱学生?” “像《性别酷儿》(Gender Queer)这样的书也会因为内容而出现警告吗?”
如果我们真的爱自己的孩子,就应该鼓励孩子拒绝接受学校的洗脑灌输,给孩子推荐基于基督信仰和保守主义理念对当前的各种光怪陆离的思想意识进行分辨的书籍,帮助他们不被恶者诡诈的谎言所蒙蔽。
更重要的是,我们要积极投入学区董事会的选举。公立学校是用我们缴纳的房产税运行的,属于全体市民和家长,不属于民主党,更不属于教师工会。我们必须夺回对公立学校的管理权,只有这样才能最有效地保护我们的孩子。
大家晚上好,
我是一名220学区的家长。我在这里要谈谈我儿子最近在高中图书馆经历的一件事。
围绕着最近备受争议的图书馆资料带有露骨性内容的话题,我儿子想进一步了解这个问题,他通过学校图书馆网站申请借阅了两本书。它们分别是:《不可逆的伤害》(Irreversible Damage,作者:Abigail Shrier博士) 和《愤世嫉俗的理论》(Cynical Theories,作者:Helen Pluckrose, & James Lindsay)这两本书都受到包括《经济学人》、《时代杂志》、《华尔街日报》、《金融时报》和《星期日时报》在内的众多媒体的高度评价。
这些书是通过图书馆间的借阅调剂系统由其他图书馆送到学校图书馆的。当我儿子去取的时候,一个学生志愿者帮助了他,扫描了他的ID,进入了他的图书馆账户,然后电脑系统立即弹出了一条警告信息:
(引用开始)
索要的两本书中,一本是反跨性别的,另一本没有官方评论,但我找到的非官方评论认为该书缓慢乏味,过于学术。评论还认为,该书的主要论点按种族划分的奖学金毁掉了一切是不妥的。
我没有购买。会尝试与学生进行个别谈话。
如果你看到他,而且我也在这里,你能偷偷地把我叫来吗?
(引用结束)
我儿子在读这条警告信息时,那个学生志愿者就站在旁边。我儿子谈到这次经历时说:“我目瞪口呆,不知道该怎么办。” 那天他感到非常的尴尬和困惑,他离开图书馆时没有借出一本书。
之后的一天,他又回到了图书馆,向一位工作人员求助,这位工作人员好心地为他查阅了这些书,而不需要让要求 “私人谈话” 的图书管理员参与进来。然而,我的儿子后来告诉我,他 “全程如坐针毡”。
我的问题是:
1. 这条警告信息的目的是什么 —— 是为了阻止学生接触这些书吗?还是为了羞辱学生?
2. 为什么要根据图书管理员对这些书的看法对学生进行 “个别谈话”?
3. 像《性别酷儿》(Gender Queer)这样的书也会因为内容而出现警告吗?
4. 以 “就有争议的问题代表对立的观点,鼓励个人分析” 为宗旨的《图书馆藏书政策及遴选准则》,是否采用了双重标准?
我将引用高中图书管理员和助理校长在今年6月重新评估这本书时引用的关于该政策的一句话作为结束:
图书馆媒体中心的职责是提供各种难度的广泛材料,具有多样性的吸引力,呈现不同的观点。材料的选择反映了我们社区不同的文化、信仰和观点。
谢谢大家的宝贵时间。我鼓励所有人都去阅读这两本书。
Public Comment at Barrington D220 Board of Education Meeting.
Good evening, everyone.
I’m a 220 parent. I am here to discuss a recent experience my son had at the High School Library.
Surrounding the recent controversial topic of library materials with explicit sexual content, my son wanted to further his understanding of the issue and requested two books through the school library website. They are
- Irreversible Damage (by: Dr. Abigail Shrier) and
- Cynical Theories (by: Helen Pluckrose, & James Lindsay)
Both books are highly regarded by multiple sources, including the Economist, Times, WSJ, Financial Times, and Sunday Times.
These books arrived at the school library on an inter-library loan. When my son went to pick them up, a student volunteer helped him. They scanned his ID to access his library account, and a warning message immediately popped up.
And here’s the message: [QUOTE BEGINS]
“Requested two books one that is anti-trans the other got no official reviews but the unofficial reviews I found deemed this slow, plodding, and too academic. They also found fault with the premise that scholarships by race ruined everything.
I did not purchase. Will try to have a personal conversation with student.
If you see him and I’m here, can you covertly get me?”
[QUOTE ENDS]
My son read this warning message with the student volunteer standing next to him. My son said of this experience, “I was flabbergasted and didn’t know what to do.” He left the library that day, without any books, feeling embarrassed and confused.
On a later date, he returned to the library and asked for help from a staff member who was kind enough to check out these books for him without having to involve the librarian that asked for a “personal conversation”. However, my son later told me that he “was on pins and needles the entire time.”
My questions are:
- What was the purpose of this warning message – was it to deter the student’s access to these books? Or was it to book shame the student?
- Why is a “personal conversation” called for based on the librarian’s opinion towards these books?
- Are books like Gender Queer also flagged due to content?
- Is this a double standard in application of the Library Collection Policy, Selection Criteria, which purports to “Represent(s) opposing points of view on controversial issues, encouraging individual analysis”?
I’ll close with a quote (of the policy) used by the High School librarian and Assistant Principal when they re-evaluated the book – Gender Queer in June of this year (2022):
“It is the responsibility of the library media center to provide a wide range of materials on all levels of difficulty, with diversity of appeal and the presentation of different points of view. Materials are selected to reflect cultures, beliefs, and viewpoints of our diverse community.”
Thank you for your time. I encourage all to check out these two books.
