Knox Zajac: Outrage after school librarian asks 6th grader if he wants MORE GRAPHIC version of sexually explicit book
WINDHAM, MAINE: An 11-year-old boy has blasted his school district for keeping a book in the library that allegedly contains adult content. Knox Zajac, a sixth grader, took a stand at a school board meeting recently, where he reportedly demanded the administrators' prosecutions and also read a few lines from the book, titled ‘Nick and Charlie’.
The book by Alice Oseman apparently starts with the lead characters in their early teens trying to get intimate with each other. Knox citing a few parts from the book told the board as per Fox News, “My back over my hips. I asked if he should take his clothes off. He was saying yes before I finished my sentence. He's pulling off my T-Shirt, laughing when I can't undo his shirt buttons. He's undoing my belt. I'm reaching into his bedside drawer for a condom.”

‘If I wanted more’
The schoolboy also revealed to the Board of Windham Raymond School District, also called RSU-14, that “when I rented it out and showed my dad it, the librarian asked if I wanted more and if I wanted a graphic novel version,” before his father, Adam, blasted the librarian, “I’m that kid’s father… That’s my son, 11 years old, and went to his library and found it by the entry door of our library.”
He continued, “This is the smut that he is finding, alright? I don’t care whether it's gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever the terms are for all of this stuff – it doesn't need to be at our school. It doesn’t need to be at my 11-year-old’s library.”
Adam also went on to mention another book, named ‘Gender Queer’, in which the author Maia Kobabe has spoken of “the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears.” The father added, “This is bulls***. We do not need to be having literature that is showing boys how to s*** d*** … you may think the schools know what's best for our children. You know who knows best for our children? The parents.”
‘It's so creepy'
Meanwhile, Chaya Raichik, who created the ‘Libs of TikTok’ Twitter account, has shared her thoughts on the incident. She told ‘Fox & Friends,’ “Every single day in America, our children are under attack, specifically in the school system. That's what I seek to expose every single day… the issue of pornography in schools is something I've been discussing ever since I started my account.”
She went on to say, “Why do these far-left activists in our schools want kids to read porn so badly? It's so creepy. I think that these far-left activists in our schools… they want to sexualize kids, they want to confuse them about their identity, they want to tear down childhood innocence, and children are the people that we have to protect at all costs…” as she concluded, “I feel like, up until a couple of years ago, that was something everybody agreed on. It wasn't something that was partisan.”
