Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List

The country’s largest teachers’ union recently released its latest summer reading list, which recommended a sexually explicit graphic novel and several other controversial books to educators.

The National Education Association published a list of 11 suggested reads divided into several sections, including “books that make you forget work,” “books to celebrate or understand Juneteenth,” and “books that will make you a better educator.”

The summer list also included a “banned books” section encouraging bookworms to “celebrate the freedom to read!”

Most notably, the NEA’s recommendations included the controversial graphic comic book, “Gender Queer: A Memoir” by Maira Kobabe.

The NEA’s website stated, “Twilight used to be at the top of banned-book lists for its racy content. Today, those lists are much more likely to feature LGBTQ+ people or People of Color.” (Read more from “Teachers’ Union Recommends Sexually Explicit Graphic Novel, Other Controversial Books on Its Summer Reading List” HERE)
