In an interview this week, MSNBC host Joy Reid argued that schoolchildren should be allowed to have access to explicit books in their school libraries. This includes books with depictions of rape and incest.
The remarks came in a discussion on Reid’s show with Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice about the pro-LGBTQ+ book “All Boys Aren’t Blue.”
As Townhall has covered, the book is a memoir by LGBTQ+ activist George Johnson. It includes explicit descriptions of sexual encounters, including incest, and statutory rape. It has been banned in school libraries in a slew of states.
Reid questioned Justice as to why the book should be prohibited in schools
“In what context is a strap-on dildo appropriate for public school? That’s my question to you. Tell me the context around the strap on dildo or the rape of a minor by a teacher?” Justice said before Reid interrupted her.
