“Virginia lawmaker slams school board member for being sworn in on a stack of ‘banned books’: ‘Pull your kids out of school.’”
– The Washington Examiner, December 19, 2023 Headline

Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas(R), who made the above statement in a December 18th Fox News interview with Jesse Watters, pleaded with parents, “If you can, pull your kids out of schools because that guy won with 65% of the vote and he’s not done.”

Delegate Freitas continued, “Here’s the thing I want to get across to parents because it’s always this idea of ‘banned books.’ I’ve got news for you. These books aren’t banned…. We had a bill in Virginia that said we won’t ban any books, but if you have books like this, you need to be able to keep a list on your public school library website, and parents need to be able to go on it, see that, and if they see a book that they think is inappropriate for their child, they get to prevent their child from checking out the book.”
