Many parents have asked how to search for books at the Greater Essex County District School Board and also how to search across Canada. The largest database of books which include reviews and images is at Exposing Sogi 123 (the images and content are very graphic) When you go to this website, remember THESE books in your kids schools. You can search below to see if your childs school has a copy of these books. Another list is a list of SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) related books

The school board admitted that it is NOT easy for parents to navigate this website, nor is it easy to find where to report a book that a parent feels is not age appropriate

where can parents report a book?

One book that was reported was called PUSH.

Push is about Precious Jones an illiterate 16 year old black girl living in Harlem. Her life is a waking nightmare. Her father rapes her and she has giving birth to 2 children with him. Her mother abuses her in every way possible physically, emotionally and sexually.

This book used the N word 22 times!!!!. It is about rape/incest, mental illness. Yet schools warn about the use of the N word in any context at their schools

There is a place on the GECDSB where you can report a book you feel is not age appropriate. Fill out the form

If you would like a list of books that have been brought to the attention of parents, we would gladly send a list. However, it is interesting to see that one book that is listed called “I am Jazz” is about a boy who transitioned to be a girl. If you look up the background story to this transgender teen you will see just how young she was. We have also included other videos regarding other transgender teens and their stories
