(Washington Stand) Video of Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) went viral on X Tuesday when he read pornographic excerpts from “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and “Gender Queer,” which are intended for children, before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The hearing was called “Book Bans: Examining How Censorship Limits Liberty and Literature.” The title of the hearing itself reveals the Democratic majority’s anti-parent/Big Government bias: the Marxist/Democratic witnesses believe that librarians and teachers are “experts” on literature whereas parents are uneducated and can “get in the way” of their teaching children LGBTQ+/gender theory, critical race theory, and other worldviews.
