Greetings Solano County! This week is Banned Books Week and as such, we at SVR, think its only fair to share with you Dirty Dave's Reading list! For your review are the first two books on the list, Gender Q***r and All Boys Aren't Blue.
Gender Q***r is written and illustrated in "graphic" fashion which means it looks like a comic book. This is appealing to children and likely why Dirty Dave is under the impression it is appropriate for school libraries. We have included a few pages, which will likely be censored because even Facebook recognizes this stuff as inappropriate content. I can tell you the pictures include male on male oral s*x, a scary menstruation scene, and a description about a first or**sm using a $10 "Bullet Vi****or."
The next book on Dave's reading list is All Boys Aren't Blue which contains the following- we censored the words but you get the idea:
“He reached his hand down and pulled out my (another word for p***s). He quickly went to giving me a (another word for oral). I just sat back and enjoyed it as I could tell he was too.”
Drama is also on Dave's reading list. This book is also written in the appealing format of a comic book and is intended for young adults, which in the literary world is somewhere between 12-20 years old. It is about a tween and her friends who are boy crazy. There are underlying notes of s*xual desire, kissing, and negative comments about caring parents.
There are 10 more books on Dirty Dave's reading list, but we don't have the stomach for that today. While SVR is not in favor of book bans across the board, there are significant issues with books such as the ones noted here and the issue of age appropriate content.
