Boone County (KY) Board of Education - Do Not Ban LGBT+ Book

Created by Crystal E.
Boone County (KY) Board of Education - Do Not Ban LGBT+ Book

UPDATE!  The Board of Education denied the parents request and this book was NO BANNED!! 

Thank you to everyone who participated!

One parent has challenged the book "Endlessly Ever After: Pick YOUR Path to Countless Fairy Tale Endings!" by Laurel Snyder under Kentucky's new law. 

The Boone County Board of Education will be reviewing the complaint that this book is "harmful to children."  Why do they claim that it is harmful to children? Because there is one option in the book where the reader may choose to allow the female main character to wake up Sleeping Beauty by giving her a kiss. (It doesn't even say on the lips! It literally could have just been a peck on the cheek!)  The complaint includes outrageous allegations that because of this option, the book promotes pedophilia.  

Nothing could be further from the truth.  This book is a fantastical choose-your-own-adventure style retelling of fairytales.  Including one option that goes against the heteronormative standard in no way makes this book pornography nor harmful for children.
