Utah Sen. Mike Lee told a Senate committee books aren't being
Max Eden, a research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, spoke to the committee on Tuesday, reading a passage describing a sex act from the book "All Boys Aren't Blue," a young-adult nonfiction book that follows author George Johnson's life growing up as a queer Black man.Lee called the passages read by Eden "pornographic" and "obscene."
Lee showed a Zoom video of Deborah Caldwell-Stone, the director of the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, in which she argued that book advocates should try to reframe the issue of book challenges. "OK, so, I think what we saw here right now was someone saying the quiet part out loud, acknowledging what the goal is. There is a goal here and the goal is to sexualize children, to provide minors with sexually explicit material and then hide this content from the parents," Lee said after the video ended.
