Derrick Evans is a conservative activist who’s running to represent District 19 in West Virginia’s House of Delegates. The GOP primary is on May 12.
And he’s already showing us what kind of lawmaker he’d be on Facebook, where he recently ranted about the book It’s Perfectly Normal, designed to introduce children to topics involving sex. Specifically, he whines about how the book features illustrations of sex, masturbation, and a man putting on a condom.
Also, it’s not anti-gay enough.

'The book tells your children to ignore religious convictions about sin. It goes into great detail about homosexuality, and goes as far to say that gay men are considered to have the highest form of love. It normalizes boy on boy and girl on girl exploring and touching each other’s bodies. The book says people who disapprove of LGBTQ lifestyles, base their opinions on fears and misinformation.
Those showing this to our children should be locked up. Once elected I will work to pass legislation that stops this from happening anywhere in West Virginia. I will always stand and Fight For Christian Values.'

But even beyond his opposition to age-appropriate sex education, it’s telling that his response to kids being taught any of this is to imprison the adults. Teaching children accurate information about their bodies isn’t a crime. Evans, a Christian, is just ashamed that anyone might love their bodies instead of feeling constant shame about them.
By the way, the book even says its target audience is kids older than 10. If you’re 10 and you still don’t know these things, then you need to learn them. It’s not like your church will do it. And if Evans is elected, he plans to spend a lot of wasted time — on the taxpayers’ dime — in his futile effort to block students from learning. Education is his enemy.

"After having looked elsewhere about how this book has been received (One million copies in print) I came across some rather interesting comments. "
"Here’s DeplorableHousewives’s take on it:
It comes as no surprise that CSE [was] secretly pushed through the democrat-controlled House. Planned Parenthood serves as a spigot of money for democrat candidates and causes and uses our tax dollars to do so. Democrats are looking to insert perversion and promiscuity into public schools to keep funneling a never-ending supply of young vulnerable women to Planned Parenthood, thereby ensuring an infinite money stream to the democrat party."
"It's Perfectly Normal" is in fact anything but, and it includes detailed language and illustrations of homosexual acts, male and female self-pleasure, pornography and abortion, all of which are introduced in a lighthearted tone and a very positive light."
"So this is where the long trail of tears of classroom sex-ed -- condemned by Pope Pius XI in Casti Connubii back in 1930 -- finally ended up. Far from teaching children the mere biology of human reproduction, classroom sex-ed is now an Alfred Kinsey fantasyland which includes detailed instruction on sodomy and abortion for prepubescent children. It's the sort of X-rated stuff that used to land people in jail and had Kinsey himself hiding in his attic to conduct his "research".

It's one thing to present factual truths concerning the human body and it's changes as one grows from a child to an adult. It's quite another to represent those who disagree with homosexuality as ignorant fearmongers who simply just don't know any better. Those of us who refute the homosexual lifestyle as 'normal' do so from biblical teachings that go back to the beginning of humanity, not from ignorance or fear. Please, if you're going to present material for the purpose of an individual making up their own mind, do so with the truth, and not the promotion of your own agendas."
"2002 - Texas - Challenged, but retained, in Montgomery County library system after the Republican Leadership Council characterized the book as "vulgar" and trying to "minimize or even negate that homosexuality is a problem".
"2008 - Maine - A Lewiston patron refused to return the book to the Lewiston and Auburn public libraries because she was "sufficiently horrified by the illustrations and sexually graphic, amoral, abnormal contents." A police investigation found the library did not violate the town ordinance against obscenity and the patron will stand trial for theft."

REVIEWS
"I bought this to see with my own eyes of what schools would be teaching our children! Not happy with the content! I as an adult was very uncomfortable with this!! This is like rated X stuff!!!"
"This is extremely inappropriate for adolescents. The illustrations are unnecessarily graphic (do we need to see naked people bending over?) I'm all for giving kids real facts and information to protect their health and to teach them to use birth control correctly, but this book is just gross. Maybe the point is to creep them out so they'll practice abstinence?"
"unfortunately I had to return the book because there are several pictures that are unnecessarily vulgar, When I read about the illustrator I learned he is not qualified to teach children about sexuality, he has no degrees related to this field, no art degree, he is not a parent, nor teacher, and not heterosexual. He is not qualified to teach most children about sex and sexuality. Also the age recommendation of 10 years is ridiculously low."
"This book is a planned parenthood endorsed piece of garbage. It’s disgusting, lacks accuracy/honesty and discusses anal, oral and vaginal sex with cartoon pictures. It also teaches about abortion. Don’t be fooled by the copies sold"
"Absolutely Horrific!!!
This is absolutely not appropriate for children. Sexualizing children & telling them how good sex feels is appalling. The images look like pronagraphy for kids. They even have a spot where it tells my 10 yr old how they can speak to a health official about birth control without my concent. Then the very next chapter is on Abortion. Are you kidding me, who thinks this is appropriate for a 10 year old. Absolutely nothing good can come from teaching children anel, vaginal, and oral sex feels good. It makes it seem like it's normal behavior for children to have sex. Even stating this is a way you can show someone you care about them."
"Holy hell. Let me start by saying I would have voted for Bernie and this book made me want to be a Republican. Do you think it's appropriate for a 10 year old to be told "changing your mind" is a fine reason for an abortion? Before going on to list several other reasons and then at #7 in your list include rape? Do you think children that age need to even know abortion exists? Or rape? Just casually mentioned as #7 in a list? It's a CHILDREN'S book - at least that's what I consider a 10 year old to be - and children need education not indoctrination. They do not need to be encouraged to look up their state laws regarding abortion. And the illustrations are creepily sexualized. Again, this is coming from a left leaning, pro-choice female. If you are looking for a book to cover regular, hair-in-funny-places topics that a boy might not like to hear from his mother, run far away. I would much rather explain masturbation and wet dreams to him myself."
