Muslim parents in Dearborn, Michigan shut down a school board meeting over the presence of explicit books in their children’s library. Many of the books that grabbed parents’ attention featured LGBT themes. However, the issue of homosexuality wasn’t the only issue that parents had. Many of the books in question were simply sexually explicit in nature. Parents carried signs to the meetings calling these books perverse in nature. Their chief argument is that these sorts of books should never be given to children to expose them to such filth. There were so many outraged parents at the school board meeting that the Fire Marshall had the meeting shut down before everyone was able to give their opinion on the matter.
