These are just a couple of the books available to your middle schoolers. I have no idea how graphic the content of these books are.

Again, the schools have decided that they will be the arbiters of what's right and wrong. Parents input is not needed or wanted. Your kids will be taught that homosexuality is not only ok, but something special to be admired.
