Some parents of Bonner’s students were upset that she had offered the book, and they filed a police report against her, alleging child endangerment. The police investigated the report, but they ultimately decided not to press charges.
Bonner has defended her decision to offer the book, saying that she wanted to provide her students with a diverse range of reading material. She has also said that she believes that “This Book Is Gay” is an important book for young people to read, as it can help them to understand and celebrate their own identities.
Conservative pundit Matt Walsh reacted to this news story, and said that “…according to this groomer teacher the only way to treat the quote unquote LGBT Community equally is to sexualize and groom children.”
