Watch: Angry Virginia moms line up to read 'pornographic' excerpts from books assigned to 9th graders



A group of furious parents lined up before Virginia's Loudoun County School Board this week to read several "pornographic" passages from books assigned to ninth graders in the district, amid a recall effort against several of the board's members.

What are the details?

In a clip from Tuesday night's meeting provided by Media Research Center, the first mom reads from a book describing a domestic violence scenario where the narrator talks about a female "coming out of some car in these tight-a** little shorts...telling me she's going to leave me."

"I grab her by the neck and start punching her," the mother continues to read. Later, the narrator describes keeping the female "in a closet for a couple of days" where "she kept on screaming, begging to be let out. Begging for water."

The rest of the excerpts were sexual in nature.

"Jasper wasn't even my boyfriend, just this dude I did some hacking with once in a while," the second mother reads. "He was pretty basic...but he had a big d***. And sometimes a girl just needs a big d***."

A third parent read about sex acts involving a "boy — his pants around his ankles — squeezed between April's straddled legs as she lay on top of a teacher's desk." The narrator describes flipping the "boy" around, "pushing him against the wall" and then dropping to their knees.

The fourth mother reads an excerpt where the narrator declares, "she sucked my d***. I didn't really want it to happen, it just kinda did." Another character in the book replies, "Wait a minute, is that what was really going on? She did your homework and you ate her c******!"

A gentleman who said he is representing a group of parents in a harassment suit addressed the board following the readings.

After listing off a number of the sexual acts covered, he pointed to the panel and asked, "By show of hands, does anyone up here want to talk about that stuff now? Not a single hand, because it's very uncomfortable and we're in a room full of adults."

He said the reason no one wants to talk about it is "because they're not acceptable topics," and added, "my kids don't go to your crap schools, but theirs do."

What was the reaction?

When asked for reaction by Fox News, Loudoun County Public Schools pointed to a news release published Wednesday where the district reminded "parents that if they feel a book is not appropriate for their student" they may "submit a formal request for the Reconsideration of Instructional Materials."

One parent, who did not want to be named, told the outlet, "This is the same district that banned Dr. Seuss and 'Huckleberry Finn' as being 'offensive,' yet they're having children read pornography that violates every code of conduct in their sexual harassment training."

GOP House members 'furious' over now having to pass through metal detectors before entering chamber



Several House Republicans are reportedly "furious" that they now have to pass through metal detectors before entering the lower chamber. The extra security measure was added in response to last week's deadly attack on the Capitol building by a pro-Trump mob.

What are the details?

NBC News correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell tweeted Tuesday afternoon, "I never thought I'd see this. Metal detectors have been set up for members before they enter the House floor. A clear indication that Democratic leadership does not trust some right-wing House members."

The reporter's message included a picture of the new setup.

The first Republican to resist was freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), who earlier this month made headlines about bringing her own firearm into work.

As TheBlaze previously reported, members of Congress may legally bring their guns into the Capitol building, but politicians are prohibited from carrying weapons into the House chamber.

According to CNN, Boebert ended up in a "standoff with Capitol Police at the newly installed Metal Detectors outside the chamber doors," after she "refused to offer the bag over to be searched."

Reporter Ryan Nobles reported that Boebert was "respectful but defiant," and was eventually allowed to enter although it is unclear whether she agreed to comply with the search.

CNN's Manu Raju tweeted later, "House GOP furious at new mags outside the chamber. Reps. Markwayne Mullin (Okla.) and Steve Womack (Ark.) erupted at Capitol Police as they were forced to go through the mags. Womack shouted 'I was physically restrained!' And Mullin said 'it's my constitutional right' and 'they cannot stop me.'"

MSNBC reported that "Republican Reps. [Louie] Gohmert, [Steve] Stivers, [Van] Taylor, Boebert, [Debbie] Lesko, and [Larry] Bucshon were among those seen not complying with police at added security checkpoints in the U.S. Capitol."

Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) tweeted later, "For members of Congress to enter the floor of the U.S. House, we now have to go through intense security measures, on top of the security we already go through. These new provisions include searches and being wanded like criminals. We now live in [Nancy] Pelosi's communist America!"

Boebert added, "I am legally permitted to carry my firearm in Washington, D.C. and within the Capitol complex. Metal detectors outside of the House would not have stopped the violence we saw last week — it's just another political stunt by Speaker Pelosi."
