Wood County WV Board of Education – May 23, 2023 - Presenter No. 2

WARNING: Sexual and Graphic language is being read to the School Board from local School Library Books. Wood County West Virginia May 2023.

Sean read from “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” a book currently available in the Parkersburg, Parkersburg South, and Williamstown High School libraries and in the teen section of the Wood County Public Library. I wish the words you are about to read and the words I recited from this library book in front of the Board of Education were not necessary. It is terribly uncomfortable to speak in front of a group, and speaking with these words to an audience of educators, women, and Christians is difficult but necessary. The excerpt that I read talked about eating pussies and buttholes graphically and at length. I told the board that there are many things I can protect my granddaughters from, but that only they could protect my granddaughters from this filth. I also gave my support to Chad Conley’s nomination.
