IDENTITY and SEXUALITY

Many concerned parents now question the dangerous illusion of “gender expansive” identities, as well as the celebration of woke sexuality during Pride week and beyond. Alumni and donors aren’t aware of this because Wokeminster excludes LGBTQIA content from the beautiful magazines designed to keep donors engaged.

LET’S VISIT THE LIBRARY

Below: Students of all ages can find gender-expansive and other graphic sexual content in the library–books with no literary merit but plenty of sexual content and foul language.  Until recently exposed by an anonymous Instagram account, Wokeminster carried books that made national news for their vulgar content. Did a librarian decide that it was fine for Westminster kids to soak up some pornography?

The online library catalog was very recently scrubbed and reorganized, and some of the foul content is not visible online, but we believe parents need to see what the school, until it was exposed, chose for children to read.  The same people who permitted pornographic novels continue to steward the library and make book selections for Wokeminster students.

Until January 2022, this was the online catalog.  It was recently scrubbed and reorganized, and it isn’t clear if the physical holdings have actually changed. Included were Lamda Award  and Stonewall books, which are awarded specifically for LGBTQIA content.

BELOW: WOKEMINSTER HAS A SELECTION OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT BOOKS IN ITS LIBRARY, INCLUDING THIS PORNOGRAPHIC BOOK WITH SICKENING SEXUAL PICTURES. THE LIBRARY REMOVED THE ONLINE LISTING FOR THE BOOK AFTER IT WAS EXPOSED ON AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT.
