A Nashville-area school district voted to remove a children's transgender book after a pastor questioned its appropriateness during a fiery school board meeting.

During the public comment section at the December 10 Murfreesboro City School Board meeting, pastor and activist John K.
The book tells the story of 'Ruthie,' a transgender girl, and introduces terms like 'cisgender' and 'nonbinary' to explain different gender identities to younger readers. After Amanchukwu started to read from the book, board chair Butch Campbell objected to the pastor bringing up the book at the meeting, saying he was going against the rules of only bringing up agenda items during the public comment section.
Amanchukwu responded to the board's decision and comments in a statement to Fox News Digital. 'If my commitment to protecting children from content that mentally rapes them is a 'show'....I pray that this ‘show’ gets bigger for the sake of the least of these, in 2025,' Amanchukwu said. He quoted Proverbs 22:6, which says, 'Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Rochester Public Schools said it pulled the 2022 book, 'The Rainbow Parade' by Emily Neilson, from its elementary school media center last month after a Franklin Elementary School parent raised concerns about nude illustrations in the book.
