Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas ripped a Fairfax County School Board member for taking his oath of office on stacks of so-called “banned books.”
“If you can, pull your kids out of schools because that guy won with 65% of the vote and he’s not done,” Freitas, a Republican, said Monday to Fox News Channel host Jesse Watters.
OATH OF OFFICE: BIDEN TOOK OUT TRUMP ONCE, BUT DID HE RESTORE THE ‘SOUL OF THE NATION?’
Democrat Karl Frisch, the first openly LGBT member elected to local office in Fairfax County, Virginia, was seen last week getting sworn into office by putting his hand on a stack of the five LGBT-themed books that have commonly been challenged in libraries and schools — Gender Queer; Flamer; All Boys Aren’t Blue; Lawn Boy; and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Frisch is the vice chair of the school board and will become board chair on Jan. 1, 2024.
Freitas had a warning for Fairfax County parents.
“When you look at this, I understand why parents are mad. I don’t understand why they are surprised anymore,” the Virginia lawmaker said. “This is part of the agenda.”
Freitas continued, “You have individuals like this who, like you just described, are far less interested in their reading and writing and their ability to comprehend mathematics, and far more interested on exposing your 13-year-old to pornography in the public school library so I think at this point, again be mad but stop being surprised. You’re going to see more as we go and it’s going to get worse.”
The Republican lawmaker and Green Beret combat veteran ripped the talking point about challenged, inappropriate books being considered ‘banned books.’
“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. He showed up with them. A stack of them. What some of us tried to do in Virginia was to say this is not appropriate material for 13-year-old kids in public school libraries,” he described his efforts in the Virginia legislature.
“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 in, see that, and if they see a book that they think it is inappropriate for their child, they get to prevent that book from checking out the book,” he said.
Fairfax County GOP also slammed Frisch’s use of inappropriate books to swear into his office.

They wrote on social media that Frisch “went out of his way to insult Fairfax County’s people of faith Wednesday night — do the local officials and unions who endorsed him approve?”
“Karl Frisch getting sworn-in on a stack of kiddie porn he wants kids to access without parents knowledge or approval is perfectly on brand for the Fairfax County School Board,” WMAL radio host Larry O’Connor criticized Frisch.
