It turns out that the Anchorage School District is not the only publicly funded entity distributing a children’s books that teaches minors how to create digital porn, engage in anal sex and explore sexual fetishes.
The book in question is “Let’s Talk About It,” by Erika Moen. It was discussed during the Feb. 7 Anchorage School Board meeting, when a concerned father protested the district’s distribution of the book through its libraries at Bartlett High School and Romig Middle School.
A quick search of the Alaska State Library system, however, shows that the same book is available at the Anchorage Loussac Library, Fairbanks Borough Library and the public libraries in Juneau, Palmer, Soldotna and Willow, along with the Kuskokwim Consortium.
The book instructs children to use editing software and apps to hide or crop out their “recognizable features” before texting sexual photos of themselves to friends. It also encourages youth to research their favorite sexual fantasies, kinks and porn stars online. At one point, the book introduces children to the idea of anal sex, calling it “practical and pleasurable,” and a “primo erogenous zone for touching and penetrating.”
While “Let’s Talk About It” is particularly graphic, both in the written descriptions and illustrations, it is just one of hundreds of LGBTQ books being disseminated to children in public and school libraries across the state. A topic search on district websites in Anchorage, Mat-Su, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Kenai reveals that these school districts stock scores of books encouraging children to explore various aspects of LGBTQ sexuality. Some of these volumes are romance novels, while others are explicit instructional books on how to engage in myriad sexual activities.
