A public school district north of Boston is recommending that five-year-olds read a pro-transgender book.
Melrose Public Schools put a book called Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love on its suggested summer reading list for incoming kindergartners, according to the school's web site.
Salem Public Library is scheduled to host an "LGBTQ Movie Event" showing Love, Simon, a movie about a closeted homosexual high school boy.
The advertisement for the event encourages attendants to "bring an LGBTQ book that you are reading this month, or an old favorite, to recommend to someone else!"
