Chelsea Clinton is receiving backlash for her support of sexually explicit material being made available to children in public and school libraries.
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton argued against banning such literature from schools, claiming that such a move would be harmful. His comments followed an NBC News report on the banning of LGBT-themed children’s books containing explicit content from libraries.
“In its annual book censorship report, the American Library Association documented 1,269 challenges to more than 2,500 books in 2022, the highest number of book ban attempts since the association began a following those efforts in 2001. That was a 75 percent jump from 2021, which held the previous record,” NBC reported.
“Of the 13 books that made the ALA’s ‘Most Challenged Books’ list last year, seven titles, including three of the top four, were challenged for having LGBTQ content, the association found,” said the medium.
Chelsea Clinton argued that sexually explicit books aimed at children are a vital way for children to learn about themselves.
More than 50% of book ban attempts last year involved books with LGBTQ+ characters and themes. Books are a vital way for children, teenagers and adults to learn about themselves and our world. Bans like these are nothing but harmful: https://t.co/eblRSU7tZk

Chelsea Clinton received furious backlash on her Twitter thread for her defense of children’s sex grooming books.
“The photo of the article you are citing includes a book with explicit illustrations of sexual acts, a book about incest, one about a sex story about two 10-year-old boys, one about a man who rapes and isolates a 12-year-old girl, one about a teenage girl who seduces a man who kidnaps her…” replied Chad Felix Greene, a self-described gender dysphoria survivor.
“From Gender queer: Anyone who thinks this is appropriate for a K-12 school library should search their hard drives for CP,” commented another, providing graphic censored examples.
“A quick review of parent-teacher conferences shows that your favorite book has illustrations of R&C, incest 👀, Sen. Scott Weiner-style pederasty, pedophile-rape, and Lolita-style pedo fantasy where l ‘teenager is the aggressor,’ fired Twitter user JW. back “So either you don’t know the content/topic of the book (aka one of your little activist friends just gave you the book and a script of what to say, empty pants suit) or the apple didn’t fall far from bill clinton’s tree… Is the pedo exploitative sex thing up your alley?”
“These are the ‘banned books’ you refer to, Chelsea: pornographic books offered to children in America’s schools. Why are you supporting the sexualization of our youth?” Twitter user Julia US responded and provided more explicit photos.
“Would you teach these books to your children?” Scott Akos asked Chelsea Clinton.
“Satan and I believe that children should have access to porn,” responded Babylon Bee owner and CEO Seth Dillon with a satirical quote. He provided more explicit photos than can be seen on Twitter.
“Speaking of harmful, care to comment on how harmful it was to the women your father sexually assaulted and your mother assaulted?” Vince Langman replied.
