Members of a western Massachusetts school committee got an earful this past week about a police search at a middle school for a graphic novel called Gender Queer.
On December 8, 2023, an anonymous complaint was made to Great Barrington police that a sexually explicit book had been shown to minors at W.E.B. Du Bois Regional Middle School, a public school in the town. A plainclothes officer went to the school and was not able to find the book, which was later identified as Gender Queer.
