UPDATE, 1:31 p.m. Sept. 30: The authors of two books that mother Stacy Langton said contain "pedophilia" have contested the accusation.
Jonathan Evison, author of "Lawn Boy," told the Washington Post that his book doesn't describe or contain pedophilia. He added to the paper that the excerpt getting attention in the news involves an adult recalling a sexual encounter he had with another fourth-grader when he also was in the fourth grade. It appears that is the scene Langton read to the Fairfax County school board.
Here's what the Post said about the controversy surrounding the other book Langton pointed out:
Parents in Texas and Virginia have alleged that two specific images in "Gender Queer" constitute pedophilia. One of the images shows the adult author engaging in fellatio with a romantic partner who is also an adult, while the author wears a dildo. The other image shows a sexual fantasy of the author's — in which an apparently teenage youth is about to engage in fellatio with an older, bearded man — that the book states was based on Plato's "Symposium."
"Symposium," a philosophical text, at one point details speeches on love given during a banquet — including an argument from one attendee that heavenly love can only occur between a man and a boy. "Gender Queer" provides no other information about the fantasy.
Asked about parents' claims, Kobabe wrote in a statement Tuesday that the image is based on an ancient Greek pottery cup that shows "a courting scene" and is on display at a museum in Oxford, England. Kobabe wrote that lessons on Greek classical art and culture in high school marked the "first time I can remember learning about LGBTQ+ people" and left a "big impression."
"I was so hungry for literally any type of queer representation," Kobabe also wrote, according to the paper. "I devoured every queer movie, song lyric, fantasy novel, manga series, and yes, erotic Greek pottery painting I could find."
Original story below
After a Texas mother blasted a school board last week over an anal sex passage in a junior high library book, a Virginia mom said she caught wind of the viral incident and wondered what might be in the library of Fairfax High School, where her child attends.
And boy did Stacy Langton ever find some doozies — and she told the school board of Fairfax County Public Schools all about them Thursday.
Holding up copies of "Lawn Boy" by Jonathan Evison and "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe — both of which Langton said she checked out from the school's library — she told the board that "both of these books include pedophilia, sex between men and boys. ... One book describes a fourth-grade boy performing oral sex on an adult male. The other book has detailed illustrations of a man having sex with a boy."
Then Langton held up what appeared to be visual illustrations taken from one of the books — although the video camera does not show them — saying "the illustrations include fellatio, sex toys, masturbation, and violent nudity."
Langton then read to the board from what she said is Kobabe's book: "I can't wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I am going to give you the blowjob of your life, and then I want you inside me."
She wasn't through. Next up was an excerpt from what she said is Evison's book: "What if I told you I touched another guy's d**k? What if I told you I sucked it? I was 10 years old, but it's true. I sucked Doug Goble's d**k, the real estate guy, and he sucked mine, too."
Raising her voice, Langton ripped into the school board: "This is not an oversight at Fairfax High School!"
A couple of the board members heard enough and began interrupting Langton — and then one of them delivered to the fed-up mom what may be the tone-deaf comment of the year.
"There are children in the audience here," the board member warned Langton.
As opposed to the children with access to the books she outed to the board — but anyway, the crowd reacted angrily to the exasperating statement and began shouting at the board.
And Langton wasn't about to give up the fight — or her time for public comment.
"Do not interrupt my time! Do not interrupt my time!" she hollered at the board. "I will stand here until my time is restored and my time is finished! These books are in stock and available in the libraries of Robinson, Langely, and Annandale High Schools!"
A board member shot back: "For high school students, ma'am."
Langton continued, saying that "pornography is offensive to all people, it is offensive to common decency" before her mic was cut off.

School board member Karl Frisch — the "first openly LGBTQ+ local elected official in Fairfax County" — took to Twitter to mock what he called "exorcisms," presumably courtesy of Langton.
It's not every week the School Board receives two exorcisms during public comment. To be clear, nothing will disrupt our Board's commitment to LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff. Nothing.— Karl Frisch (@Karl Frisch) 1632443588
"It's not every week the School Board receives two exorcisms during public comment," he wrote. "To be clear, nothing will disrupt our Board's commitment to LGBTQIA+ students, families, and staff. Nothing."
But commenters took Frisch to task for his words:
This story has been updated with statements from the authors of the school library books in question.
