A school board member in Flagler County, Florida, called police and filed a criminal complaint after finding copies of All Boys Aren’t Blue, a memoir written by activist George M. Johnson that covers same-sex romances, issues of race and sexual assault. After finding the books in three school libraries, Jill Woolbright told police that the schools were distributing “obscene” material, Them reports.
“Some child could be disturbed to read a book that they’re not ready for,” Woolbright told WESH.
