A pastor in Florida was removed from a school board meeting after he read out loud a pornographic book available to children in the school library.
The man attended the meeting with 30 other parents at the Indian River County School Board.
During the School Board meeting, Pastor John K Amanchukwu Sr began reading passages from the book titled 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
However, he only got one sentence in before the board shut him down.
“As if letting him finger me was going to cure all my problems,” the pastor read, prompting one board member to yell into the microphone, “Sir, I’ll stop you there.”
The board members then shut off Amanchukwu’s mic, and d security arrived to drag him out.

Meanwhile, other parents in attendance were put off when reading from different books, all available to school children.
Governor Ron DeSantis instituted a rule earlier in the year stating parents “shall have the right to read passages from any material that is subject to an objection.”
The rule also decrees that if parents are prevented from doing so, then the materials they are objecting to must be removed and discontinued from use in the school.
Indian River County School Board member Jacqueline Rosario said she was the only member to vote to remove the books last year, and until the new rule was instantiated, other board members ignored laws on pornographic content.
“The difference now is that HB 1069 has allowed parents to read explicit books at board meetings. And if they get shut down, then the book is immediately removed. This is a good thing,” Rosario told Fox News.
“It is the litmus test for acceptable age-appropriate and standards-driven library books. If you can’t read them at a board meeting, then you can’t have them in our schools. All that is needed now is for a “passage” to be read, and the book can be removed immediately,” she continued.
Rosario added:
“The superintendent and board members refused to acknowledge the gross content made available to kids until now.”
“Finally, they don’t have a choice. It’s about time the truth be made known. Explicit, sexually graphic, pornographic, and obscene material does not belong in any school.”
