A California teacher has caused controversy by promoting a “queer library” to students, which includes sexually inappropriate books containing content about adult “kinks” such as BDSM and group sex.
A San Juan Hills High English teacher who was previously identified as Danielle Serio on the school’s website in 2020, now goes by “Flint,” and uses “they/them” pronouns according to a TikTok profile that boasts over 155,000 followers. Serio has posted multiple videos boasting about the explicit books, which the Capistrano Unified School District was forced to respond to as they faced backlash from parents, reports Fox News.
One book in Serio’s classroom library, “Everything you Ever Wanted to Know About Being Trans…” talks about fetishes including BDSM, which refers to a wide array of sexual contact involving practices like bondage and sadomasochism, as well as promoted a kink social media platform.
“I find the BDSM/kink community to be extremely open-minded and welcoming in every way; it’s a place of sexual liberation,” the book states.
“There is often more blanket level of acceptance of transgender people within the kink/BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) scenes and sites such as FetLife.”
FetLife is a social networking website that describes itself on its homepage as “Like Facebook, but run by kinksters like you and me.” The “Fet” part of the name refers to “fetish.”
Another book that Serio included for her teenaged students is called “This Book is Gay,” and discusses the gay hookup app “Grindr,” how to partake in anal sex, and “girl on girl” relations.
“We all want to have sex with loads of people,” the book asserts. “The prostate gland… feels amazing when massaged. Lots of men, gay or straight, like how this feels.”
“Let’s talk about dildos: I think a lot of people assume that where there is no penis, a desperate sexual void is created, out of which something [bleep] shaped must ultimately slot in order to satisfy,” the book stated. “I’ve only ever slept with two women who enjoyed using dildos. I hate wearing a strap-on. I’ve only ever done it once and NEVER AGAIN!”
The book also mentioned gay sex parties in bath houses.
“Saunas, or ‘bath houses,’ are dotted all over the country, and they are perfectly legal. People (many saunas run lesbian nights) pay some money to enter and then have a bit of a sauna and some random sex.”
The book said, “this is fine as long as you’re safe.”
“There shouldn’t be porn allowed in classrooms,” said one parent of the school district to Fox News. “What was in the classroom pretty much made me sick.”
Following the outrage from parents, Capistrano Unified School District sent out an email that claimed the queer library is only part of an extracurricular school club.
“We are aware of a news article questioning the appropriateness of books that were in a student club library,” the district said. “The books referenced were available through a high school extra-curricular club and are not instructional materials. However, we have initiated a review of these books, which are currently not available to students.”
In a statement to Fox News, the school district said that the posts made by Serio showing the library is out of their “jurisdiction.”
“The district does not endorse the personal statements of any individuals speaking in their capacity as private citizens. Our jurisdiction only extends to comments made by employees in their official capacities,” they said.
In a November 21 TikTok post, the high school teacher complained of the criticism.
“People get really mad about my queer library. I have like 200 titles that are specific to the LGBT community that I’ve been curating for over eight years. Don’t get me wrong, my students love that library. It has been very helpful for many students figuring out who they are, how to relate to their peers,” Serio said while unboxing a package of various pride flags.
“This is by far the most popular thing that goes into my classroom,” the teacher said, unveiling the LGBTQ+ flags.
“I make these available for everybody. Oftentimes, teachers will take them and put them up in their classrooms.”
