Parents voiced their frustrations after it was revealed that kids as young as four had been shown the book “Grandad’s Pride,” written by award-winning author Harry Woodgate.
One illustration from the book, which has a 4+ reading age, shows transgender men with markings from breast augmentation or removal surgery, commonly referred to as “top surgery.”One man has a leather cod-piece wound against his crotch and garters strapped down his thighs.Two East Yorkshire parents, Will and Maria Taylor, confronted Genesis Pre School in Hull about the sensitive content and were horrified when the school refused to apologize for the book.
“That was no justification in our eyes. Arguing with us over the appropriateness of these sexual images quickly damaged the trust we held for the nursery team. At this stage, I was concerned and took our daughter out of the nursery,” Will added. The parents claimed they have been branded “bigots” for speaking out against the book, a claim that they vigorously deny, noting that while there arewhich are “great,” this particular book went “too far in introducing sexual imagery.”
“As Trustees, we agree that the images in the book ‘Grandpa’s Pride’ are not age appropriate. This book has been removed from Genesis and a comprehensive audit of all other books has taken place to ensure all books, whilst celebrating culture and diversity, are age-appropriate,” they told the couple.
