Police Called to School on Report of Sexually Explicit Book in Use

Librarian complains about incident, citing the 'freedom to read'

An anonymous complaint about what apparently was going on in a middle school classroom in Massachusetts has prompted police to respond and investigate.

It was because the report was that an eighth-grade classroom was being used "to read a notorious banned book on gender expression," according to a report from the Post Millennial.

Paul Storti, police chief for the Great Barrington department, said officers had a duty to investigate, and an officer was dispatched to W.E.B. Du Bois Regional Middle School to hunt for the book.

Police explained that a complainant "reported that the book included images of sexual acts," the report said.

The officer, accompanied by teachers, was unable to find the book when dispatched, the report said, and Supt. Peter Dillion expressed his wishes that the complaint had come to the district.

He confirmed, in a way, the presence and use of the book, as he said the book is "not a class text but a supplemental material that students can request to sign out."

The school librarian, Jennifer Guerin, said the LGBT ideology in the book is important for students to study, as they might be exploring their own gender identity, the report explained.

She said the issue is that "it's about the freedom to read."

The book has, in a court, been determined to be "obscene."
