PLEASE ACCEPT THIS AS A FORMAL REQUEST TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT. Nadia Combs: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. MY NAME IS TERRY KEMPLE. I LEAD ONE LOCAL ORGANIZATION, COMMUNITY ISSUES COUNCIL AND ONE STATEWIDE, PROTECT OUR CHILDREN PROJECT. WE'RE PROUD TO BE MEMBERS OF THE HILLSBOROUGH GRASSROOTS GROUP. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM PEOPLE FROM THE HILLSBOROUGH GRASSROOTS GROUP. WE'RE HERE TO REMIND YOU OF GOVERNOR DESANTIS' RECENT ACCUSATION THAT HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HAS UNLAWFUL PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS IN YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
I'M READING NOW FROM STATE STATUTE 847.012 (3) A PERSON MAY NOT KNOWING SELL, RENT OR LOAN FOR MONETARY CONSIDERATION TO A MINOR ANY PICTURE, PHOTOGRAPH, DRAWING WHICH DEPICTS NUDITY OR SEXUAL CONDUCT, SEXUAL EXCITEMENT, SEXUAL BATTERY, OR ANY BOOK, PAMPHLET, MAGAZINE, PRINTED MATTER, HOWEVER REPRODUCED THAT CONTAINS ANY EXPLICIT AND DETAILED NARRATIVE ACCOUNTS OF SEXUAL EXCITEMENT OR SEXUAL CONDUCT AND THAT IS HARMFUL TO MINORS. SUBSEC 5 GOES ON TO STATE, AN ADULT MAY NOT KNOWINGLY DISTRIBUTE TO A MINOR ON SCHOOL PROPERTY OR POST ON SCHOOL PROPERTY ANY MATERIAL DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION 3. PLEASE KEEP THE LAW IN MIND AS PEOPLE READ FROM BOOKS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SCHOOLS. THERE ARE SCHOOLCHILDREN WHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. WE ASK TO YOU ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK FIRST SO THEY CAN LEAVE BEFORE PEOPLE START READING THE PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO REMOVE FROM YOUR LIBRARIES.
YOU'LL HEAR LOTS OF DISINFORMATION ABOUT THE GOVERNOR'S EFFORTS AND ABOUT OUR EFFORTS, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT YOU HAVE ILLEGAL PORNOGRAPHIC BOOKS IN YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO REMOVE THEM. Nadia Combs: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR COMBS. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND CERTAINLY SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS. MY NAME IS BILL KERBER. I'M HERE READING STATUTES TODAY FOR THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY CITIZENS DEFENDING FREEDOM. I'M HERE TO READ A COUPLE OF STATUTES, 847-001 WHICH STATES HARMFUL TO MINORS MEANS ANY REPRODUCTION, IMITATION, CHARACTERIZATION, DESCRIPTION, EXHIBITION, PRESENTATION, REPRESENTATION OF WHATEVER KIND OR FORM DEPICTING NUDITY, SEXUAL CONDUCT, OR SEXUAL EXCITEMENT WHEN IT IS PATENTLY OFFENSIVE TO PREVAILING STANDARDS IN ADULT COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE WITH RESPECT TO WHAT IS SUITABLE MATERIAL OR CONDUCT FOR MINORS AND TAKEN AS A WHOLE IS WITHOUT SERIOUS LITERARY, ARTISTIC, POLITICAL, OR SCIENTIFIC VALUE FOR MINORS. THE ONE THAT SHOULD CONCERN US ALL IS FLORIDA STATUTE 1,006.34.
IT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR IN SAYING THAT ANY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL CONTAINING PORNOGRAPHY OR OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY STATUTE 847 MAY NOT BE USED OR MADE AVAILABLE WITHIN ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL. WE'RE HERE TO ASK TODAY THAT THIS BOARD STEP UP AND TAKE THIS MATERIAL OFF THE COUNTER, OUT OF THE SCHOOLS LIBRARIES' SHELVES. THIS MATERIAL IS INCREDIBLY BAD. YOU'LL HEAR SOME THINGS TODAY THAT ACTUALLY MAKE ME CRINGE. I VOLUNTEERED TO READ THE STATUTES INSTEAD OF A BOOK, THAT'S HOW BAD SOME OF THIS STUFF IS. I'M ASKING YOU, PLEASE, STEP UP AND TAKE THESE BOOKS OFF THE SHELF OR MOVE ON AND LET US PUT SOME PEOPLE IN PLACE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Nadia Combs: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS JALISA. I'M 13 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THE BASICS OF SEX. BUT WHAT I'M HEARING ABOUT THESE BOOKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES, I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE.
NOT EVEN FOR ME. I HAVE SMALLER SIBLINGS AND I WOULDN'T WANT THEM KNOWING NOR SEEING ANY INAPPROPRIATE IMAGES AT THEIR AGE. MY MOM IS SMART ENOUGH THAT SHE PUT ME IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE NOT TAKING THE BEST INTERESTS IN THEIR STUDENTS. THANK YOU. Nadia Combs: NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING. GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD EVENING, ALL OF THE ABOVE. SHAWN ROBERTS. FOUNDER OF ANTI-BULLY ORGANIZATION CALLED AMARAC. I'M HERE TO READ SOME BOOKS, EXCUSE ME, ONE PARTICULAR BOOK THAT'S FOUND IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS TODAY. IT'S CALLED "NORMAL PEOPLE." A NOVEL BY SALLY ROONEY. THE SECRET WAVE INSIDE HER BODY PLEASURABLELY, PRESSING DOWN HER PELL VIN BONE WHEN SHE MOVED. WHEN HE TOUCHED HER, THE NIGHT SHE WAS SO WET SHE ROLLED HER EYES BACK INTO HER HEAD AND SAID, GOD, YES, AND SHE WAS ALLOWED TO SAY IT. HE WAS AFRAID HE WOULD COME THEN AND JUST FROM TOUCHING HER LIKE THAT.
WHEN THEY WENT UPSTAIRS, HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. HE LET HER TALK. THAT'S SO GOOD. SHE KEPT SAYING, THAT FEELS SO GOOD. HER BODY WAS SO SOFT, WHITE LIKE FLOUR DOUGH. HE SEEMED TO FIT PERFECTLY INSIDE HER. PHYSICALLY, IT JUST FELT RIGHT, AND THEN HE UNDERSTOOD WHY PEOPLE SAYING THINGS FOR SEXUAL REASONS THEN. HER BREATH SOUNDED RAGGED THERE. HE PULLED HER LIPS BACK AGAINST HIS BODY AND THEN RELEASED HER SLIGHTLY. SHE MADE A NOISE LIKE SHE WAS CHOKING AND THEN AGAIN AND TOLD HIM SHE WAS GOING TO COME. I'M JUST READING SOME OF THE EXCERPTS OF SOME OF THE BOOKS IN THE SCHOOL. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, WE WERE KIDS. WE ENJOYED OURSELVES. WE HAD FUN. IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME AND IT TAKES LEADERSHIP TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS TO SAVE THE KIDS. SO I LEAVE EVERYONE HERE WITH THIS. IT'S A SPIRITUAL WAR AND WE HAVE TO PICK THE RIGHT SIDE TO HELP THE KIDS.
THANK YOU. Nadia Combs: THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. MY NAME IS DAVE COLEMAN. FROM NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 22 YEARS. I RECENTLY VIEWED A WORKSHOP WHERE IT HAD TO BE DISCUSSED WHETHER THE WORDS SYSTEMIC RACISM EVEN EXIST. I WATCHED MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD BROUGHT TO TEARS OVER THAT. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT NEXT WEEK, THERE IS GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION, A SPECIAL OPEN MEETING ON ONE BOOK, A BOOK CALLED THIS BOOK IS GAY BY JUNEAU DAWSON. THERE IS AN OPENING LINE THAT I JUST READ THIS MORNING. I HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, BUT IT SAYS IN CHALLENGING TIMES IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER THAT WE COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. IT ALL STARTS WITH KINDNESS AND COMPASSION AND YOU. AND IT IS GOING TO BE UP TO YOU.
AS WELL AS I NEED TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN THAT POLITICAL AIMS AND BASE RATTLING IS REACHING INTO OUR CLASSROOMS ALL THE WAY FROM TALLAHASSEE, RIGHT HERE AT HOME. MY SCHOOL BOARD IS NOT SOME KIND OF RADICAL LEFT WING AGENDA GROOMING CHILD ENTITY. YOU WERE NOT THAT. YOU WERE NEVER THAT. THE THINGS READ TO YOU DON'T EVEN EXIST IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. YOU GUYS ARE HARDWORKING ELECTEDS THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW HATE AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES GROOMING CHILDREN TO OCCUR ANYWHERE NEAR OUR CHILDREN. AND THE SO-CALLED PARENTAL RIGHTS BY THE GOVERNOR AND HIS OL' GARLICS ARE FINE FOR THEM EXCEPT WHEN THEY TELL THIS PARENT WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND WHERE THEY STOP. YOU CANNOT TELL ME HOW I RAISE MY CHILD. YOU CANNOT TELL ME WHAT BOOKS ARE IN THE SCHOOL FOR MY CHILD TO SEE. YOU CAN STOP IT AT YOUR FRONT DOOR AND I CAN STOP IT AT MY FRONT DOOR.
Nadia Combs: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS CAMDEN. I TURN 18 THIS THURSDAY. FOR FUN I PLAY VOLLEYBALL, I HANG OUT WITH MY SISTERS AND FRIENDS. I MAKE BRACELETS FOR MY COMPANY. I DO NOT WATCH PORN, READ PORN, DO NOT DO DRUGS OR SLEEP AROUND. I DO NOT DESIRE TO DO THESE THINGS. NO KIDS SHOULD DESIRE TO DO THESE THINGS. WATCHING PORN ISN'T AS COMMON AS YOU THINK IT IS. BUT YOU PUSH IT BECAUSE OF YOUR MARXIST AGENDA TO SEXUALIZE CHILDREN. THREE YEARS AGO I GOT A READING ASSIGNMENT. I CAME HOME AND ASKED MY MOM TO BUY THE BOOK. ALMOST EVERYONE IN THE CLASS IS READING THE SAME BOOK SINCE THE TEACHER INDICATED IT IS A BOOK MANY COLLEGES REQUIRE. I FIGURED IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE. I WAS 15. I WENT HOME AND ASKED MY MOM TO GET ME THE BOOK.
