GOP senator masterfully proves why sexually explicit books don't belong in schools, forcing Dem to make key admission



Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) went viral on Tuesday for reading R-rated excerpts from sexually graphic books.

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on so-called "book bans" and censorship, Kennedy masterfully proved why some books just don't belong on school library shelves. Kennedy showed that if the books are too obscene for the Senate, then they're too obscene for school.

Kennedy read from "All Boys Aren't Blue" and "Gender Queer," two books that have become key flash points in the debate about "book bans." He recited:

  • All Boys Aren't Blue: "I put some lube on and got him on his knees, and I began to slide into him from behind. I pulled out of him and kissed him while he masturbated. He asked me to turn over while he slipped a condom on himself. This was my a** and I was struggling to imagine someone inside me. He got on top and slowly inserted himself into me. It was the worst pain I think I have ever felt in my life. Eventually, I felt a mix of pleasure with the pain."
  • Gender Queer: "I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you. It will fit my favorite dildo perfectly. You will look so hot. I can’t wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I’m going to give you the b***job of your life, then I want you inside of me."

After reading the excerpts, Kennedy turned his attention to Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias (D).

Earlier this year, Illinois enacted a law to punish schools that do not adhere to the American Library Association's "Library Bill of Rights." Under those guidelines, books cannot be removed "because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval." The guidelines make no mention of inappropriate or sexual materials, nor does the law.

Giannoulias told Kennedy he opposes parents having the "ability, under the guise of keeping kids safe, to try and challenge the worldview of every single manner on these issues." In other words, he opposes so-called "book bans" and wants librarians empowered more than parents to make decisions about library materials.

Still, Giannoulias made a significant admission about the nature of the books that Kennedy read, which parents' rights advocates do not want in schools.

"With all due respect, Senator, the words you spoke are disturbing. Especially coming out of your mouth, it's very disturbing," Giannoulias told Kennedy.

The question then becomes: If something is "very disturbing" in a setting of adults, how much more disturbing is that material in a school where children can access it?

Leftist Witness In Senate Hearing On Book Bans Admits Sex Scenes Are ‘Disturbing,’ But Children Should Still Have Access

'The words you spoke are disturbing,' said Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, after a senator read passages from pornographic books.

Sen. Kennedy Grills Illinois Secretary Of State Over Pornographic Books Being Exposed To Children

'It has everything to do your politics!'

Democrat embarrasses himself by saying he's running for Illinois secretary of state to 'protect' elections. The office doesn't handle elections, an independent board does.



It appears one Democratic candidate for Illinois secretary of state may have neglected to carefully read the job description before launching his campaign.

What happened?

Alexi Giannoulias, who formerly served as the state's treasurer, argued on Twitter recently that it is "critical" for Illinois voters to keep the secretary of state's office blue in order to "protect" the state's electoral process.

But should he be elected, Giannoulias will be disappointed to find out that the secretary of state's authority does not extend over elections. Rather, Illinois's independent Board of Elections manages them.

"Illinois is not nearly as blue a state as people think," tweeted Giannoulias on Sunday. "It's absolutely critical we keep the Secretary of State's office blue to protect our elections. That is why I'm running to keep IL blue. Can you [retweet] this & follow this account to help keep Illinois securely Democratic?"

According to the Illinois secretary of state's website, while the office is tasked with a diverse set of responsibilities "from issuing driver's licenses and registering vehicles, to promoting organ/tissue donation awareness, [to] overseeing the Illinois State Library and administering the state's literacy efforts" — managing state and local elections is not among them.

Drew Savicki, a former 270toWin contributor who reports on elections in Illinois, broke the news to Giannoulias in a reply tweet.

"If you're running for elected office, you should know what the office [does]," wrote Savicki. "The Illinois SoS has nothing to do with elections. Illinois has a board of elections. The Secretary of State's primary job is running the DMV."

What else?

"The [Illinois secretary of state] doesn't administer elections or have anything to do with the elections process, that's all the SBE whose members are appointed by the governor," confirmed another commenter.

"I wonder if he knows?" asked another.

Axios reporter Lachlan Markay chimed in to note that even when setting aside Giannoulias' incorrect assertion, the candidate's message is a bit confounding.

"Putting aside the fact that IL elections are overseen by an independent agency, not the sec of state, 'I'm running for the office that oversees elections to ensure Democrats keep winning' is maybe not a great campaign theme," Markay tweeted.

Journalist Joe Uchill responded to Markay, saying, "Don't put that aside. Linger on the fact Giannoulias is advertising a service he can't possibly provide."

As of Monday afternoon, Giannoulias had yet to respond to criticisms.
