Spence replied that four of the books that were not a part of district curriculum had been removed, pending a review. Manning demanded that staff involved in approving the books be disciplined. “I would like to ask that you pull these books from shelves and also block any electronic access by students to getting these books IMMEDIATELY.” “It has been brought to my attention by some parents that there are some disturbing books in our district that are available to students,” Manning wrote on Oct. In an email sent to Virginia Beach City Public Schools Superintendent Aaron Spence earlier this week, at-large school board member Victoria Manning said that another board member, Laura Hughes, joined her in demanding four books be removed from circulation or use in the district’s curriculum “due to their pornographic nature.” A school board member who runs a “wokeness checker” snitch site has pressed a Virginia school district to purge six books from its shelves, alleging that the books-including a seminal Toni Morrison novel-are rife with “pornographic” content.
