After a tumultuous school board meeting that had to end shortly due to tension between the board and parents, Dearborn Public Schools held another meeting to address controversial books.
"I understand today that there are certain elements here in this city as well as across the nation that are making baseless claims which are vilifying parents and are making an issue about everything else except protecting young impressionable minds from filth that most adults shy away from or are uncomfortable reading," he said.
"The existence of these books has uncovered deficiencies in this process," Nemer added."…First and foremost, I urge this body to outline that sexually explicit content will be removed permanently, not temporarily, from the collections." Nemer also highlighted that the school library has over 300,000 books, and the current opt-out process places the burden on parents to know the content of all the books.
Other community members opposed removing the books from the library, emphasizing their importance for LGBTQ+ students. The Dearborn Public Schools told Fox News Digital that six books were challenged: Four of them were physical books and two were electronic. Among the challenged books were"This Book is Gay," by Juno Dawson, and"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold.
