Explicit, controversial children's book pushed by schools across the country
There’s an award-winning, popular children’s book sitting in classrooms and library book shelves all over the country. Parents from across the country have quietly reached out to me about it with questions. It’s called “Flamer” by Mike Curato. It’s a graphic novel about a boy going to summer camp. Some parents are concerned that this graphic novel is, in fact, graphic.
The book's website mentions "Flamer" is best for kids 14 and up. However, the book has been found in some elementary school libraries, as well as middle and high schools. Based on my records requests and tips from parents, the book seems to be particularly common in Texas public schools. However, you'll find it in school libraries in the "teen" section from California to Tennessee to Virginia.
I break down the in-depth controversy over the book and "book banning" concerns, the author's response, and spoke to an expert about why pornographic books like this are popping up in schools all over the country.
Henry Holt and Company published the book and owns the rights to it.
