Security Stops “Hot Wiener” Reading At School Board Meeting

This week in Texas security guards shut down a public school board meeting when a man started reading passages from a library book while standing at the public comment podium.

What was the reader’s problem with this specific book?

He said it’s pornographic and kids can find it in the schools’ libraries.

A taxpayer was forcibly removed by security from a @FortWorthISD meeting tonight after he read from the pornographic book “Flamer” which was available in the school library.

Too graphic for a meeting of adults but cool for minor students! pic.twitter.com/xUPV9BQJD8

More details from the Daily Mail:

Mike Cee was seen on video, while holding a microphone used for public comment, quoting the book Flamer by Mike Curato, which is a novel about a teenager discovering his sexuality.

He, at one point, reads off the line of one character asking: ‘Who wants my hot wiener?’

Cee was met with one board member slamming her gavel and asking security to remove him, as the man continued to read from the book.

Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence in recent years at local school board meetings across America.

Parents are shocked by what they are finding in their kids’ schools.

The AP told us about similar books and incidents in 2021 in a northern Virginia school district:

“Gender Queer,” an illustrated memoir, contains explicit illustrations of oral sex and masturbation. The novel “Lawn Boy” contains graphic descriptions of sex between men and children. Both books were previous winners of the American Library Association’s Alex Awards, which each year recognize “ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18.”

Langton said the fact that school board members felt compelled to interrupt her when she read graphic passages aloud illustrates her point about the books’ inappropriate nature.

According to one Twitter (X) poster, these pages are from the actual book that caused the Texas meeting bust-up.

Here’s a few pages from ‘Flamer’. How can this be allowed to be shown to kids. These people are evil. pic.twitter.com/PZFUwCkM6l

It’s difficult to understand why books considered award winning and good to share with kids are deemed inappropriate to share with adults at school board meetings.

In the video, a school board member can be heard saying to Mr. Cee, “if it’s vulgar we are going to stop you,” from reading the book.

It must’ve been vulgar. Security stopped the reading.

One Twitter (X) poster pointed out the hypocrisy.

The hypocrisy would be stunning except we’ve seen this over and over. 🙄 The mental gymnastics needed to put a book so dirty you can’t read it aloud to adults in a children’s library are ridiculous. 🤦‍♀️🤪

We cannot confirm whether “Flamer” the LGBTQ book remains available to the school kids in that district.

According to the Daily Mail: “The book had already been removed from the district’s elementary and middle school libraries during the summer.”

No mention of high school libraries.
