Content Warning
Kevin Gagnon’s son is an 8th-grade student at SAU 57 in Salem, NH. His son’s only Christmas wish this year was to return to public school to be with his friends. His father had become increasingly concerned about age-appropriate content in the school libraries. He was already upset by the Covid measures that he saw negatively impacting his children, so he felt compelled to share all of his safety concerns with the school. (Read his first public comments here.)
Kevin is a practicing Catholic. He communicated with the school and the board, showing them his concerns. He asked that his son be kept safe from inappropriate content and asked for the content to be reviewed. (Read his 2nd public comment here.)
The school refused to take any measures to protect his kids, so Kevin took his son out of SAU 57. (Read his 3rd public comment here) Mr. Gagnon spent the time teaching his son lessons on how their religion sees things like rape, incest, pornography, homosexuality, and pedophilia, making sure the school’s damaging content was not creating a false narrative for his son. He taught him that the school has been misguided and may be purposely presenting false or adult information. He helped him recognize the lies and how to reject and respond to them. He asked God to give his son the wisdom to recognize what’s right and the strength to reject what is not.
Kevin Gagnon heard his child’s Christmas wish. He sent him back to school. He prayed his son would be able to recognize the truth despite the ideological lies being presented to him. He felt his child was prepared to face the lies and confront them himself. His response was to start a petition for a warrant article requesting a committee to review the obscenity laws and the content in the school’s libraries. He needs 25 signatures to get the warrant article into the SAU 57 deliberative session for a vote. Then, the entire SAU can vote on his suggested obscenity review. (see the warrant article petition here.)
Kevin Gagnon’s petition has to be in by January 14th for the warrant article to be accepted for a vote.
During the recent Kearsarge School District deliberative session, taxpayers were put into the library as overflow space. A homeschooling parent grabbed a book to peruse during the long wait. She picked up the book “Saga: Four” and opened it to a blowjob scene in comic style (pictured above). It was a picture of three women surrounding a naked man, two at his sides with his fingers in their mouths, and the other kneeling between his legs with her head down. The parent became upset and showed it around. Even the police looked. Some people started to openly cry. They had completed their vote, but many walked away, disgusted and concerned.
The parent has since contacted the NH Commissioner of the Department of Education, Frank Edelblut. Kearsarge has been dealing with a very public child sex abuse scandal for months. This has stoked that fire. Parents around the state are taking notice of the obscene pornographic content presented to our children in public schools. They are seeing the results of the lack of boundaries…the introduction of sex offenders, and their trade tools, to our children.
Are you in SAU 57? Will you sign the petition for the warrant article or vote for a committee review of the content?
What will YOU do to protect children from age-inappropriate content in your public schools? Do you want your tax dollars to go to that?
