Sparta Board of Education elected by the parents were heroes last week. They did the job that they were elected to do, and put children’s safety and parents rights first. They moved the book “The Upside to Unrequited” from the middle school (8th grade) to the high school (9th grade) so that 11-year-olds would not accidentally get their hands on this book. It’s a decent compromise to avoid banning the book altogether.
The reaction to the BOE’s decision was over the top. They only moved up the book ONE grade and the woke activist loons lost their minds, acting the fool at Sparta’s public meeting. Activists were invited by woke staff and showed up in droves last week screaming that Sparta was “book banning” by moving the book ONE grade up. These teachers and librarians can’t stand the thought that they are losing their power in the schools to parents. They will not give up one inch of their power. They filled the room with gangs of vicious activists from outside of Sparta in an attempt to influence the newly elected board of education members and subvert the wishes of the parents. They sounded unhinged as they attempted to crucify the BOE for wanting to protect elementary school kids from reading about orgies, shaving buttholes, doggie lipstick and molly in elementary school.
A lawyer from another town showed up to threatened the BOE with frivious lawsuits of ethics that will cost the district money and take that money away from the kids. One mom got up and explained away butthole shaving was feminism; I need a diagram to see how that works. Another person from out of district accused the BOE’s members kids of doing illegal drugs. One resident threatened to move. And one parent “lovingly” mentioned this newsletter [sarcasm].
Remember the BOE moved the book ONE grade up and it made all these people act crazy.
Making matters worse, these activists are not just showing up at BOE meetings but also harassing the members of the board personally. The good news is, Sparta elected the right people because they are holding strong and standing up to vicious intimidation.
While sex education is healthy and is a part of public service, teaching the sexual fetishes, uses of sex toys, group sex, promiscuities and contempt for monogamy is not the purpose of elementary Sex Education. Kids need to learn how babies are made, and how their body works. Why did public education stray so far from the original intent?
Watch below as these rabid extremists have a 2-year-old style temper tantrum making baseless threats, wild accusations and insults. These people are just not used to NOT getting their way, and it shows. This would be a comedy if they weren’t trying to influence elementary education.

They are losing and they can't stand it.
I hope the lady who threatened to move sells her house and makes room for a family that still believes the innocence of children is to be protected. Sparta is such a beautiful town and thank God for the parents who got involved with the BOE.
Good job Sparta BOE!
