On Tuesday evening, <a href="https://www.penfield.edu/47280_2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school board members</a> representing Penfield Central School District in Rochester, New York, walked out on <a href="https://x.com/K_DeRosa_NY135/status/1889461199873446305" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a packed house of parents</a> who were upset about an inappropriate book on display at the elementary school library called &#8220;The Rainbow Parade,&#8221; authored by Emily Neilson.
The book in question is about a young girl attending a pride parade with her lesbian parents. The illustrations show men in sexual BDSM gear holding hands, drag queens, and naked people.
Instead of taking on comments from concerned parents, the board&#8217;s president called a motion to adjourn and ended the meeting abruptly. Kimberly DeRosa, who attended the meeting, told The Daily Wire that it ended after &#8220;more than an hour of presentations celebrating Black History Month and the superintendent detailing the process of submitting objections to books in the school.&#8221;
As noted by DeRosa, the board told parents that they should submit their complaints, which apparently negated their right to speak out at the meeting.
&#8220;We are here at our board meeting, conducting our business,&#8221; one board member told parents, who began booing. One parent responded, &#8220;It&#8217;s our board meeting,&#8221; and others yelled, &#8220;cowards!&#8221;
DeRosa, who is a Penfield taxpayer, concerned mother, and on the executive board of the Monroe County Federated Republican Women, told The Daily Wire that it was &#8220;a slap in the face to everyone there when the board members walked out before any public comments could be made.&#8221;
No board members returned, but prepared parents stayed back and voiced their outrage over &#8220;The Rainbow Parade,&#8221; which was brought home by a fifth grader and is available in the school library to students as young as kindergarten.

BIG SCANDAL UNFOLDING in Penfield Central School District in New York:
A kindergartner reportedly came home with a book about attending an LGBTQ pride parade which included pictures of naked people and men in bondage fetish gear.

The Daily Wire has reached out to Penfield Central School District Superintendent Dr. Tasha Potter but has yet to receive a response. According to a district website, Potter, who was named superintendent in September 2024, previously served as Penfield&#8217;s &#8220;Assistant Superintendent for Equity &amp; Access,&#8221; and before that, as &#8220;Director of Diversity and Equity Planning for Monroe One BOCES.&#8221;
According to parents, &#8220;The Rainbow Parade&#8221; is not only in the elementary school library, but out on display, seemingly to attract the attention of students.
&#8220;The sidewalk outside is filled with people waiting for the parade to start,&#8221; the text of the book reads. &#8220;Everyone is wearing whatever makes them feel most like themselves. Even if that means wearing hardly anything at all.&#8221;
The illustration shows two men in BDSM harnesses holding hands, as well as other naked individuals.

&#8220;The Rainbow Parade&#8221; also shows drag queens, one with a beard and another who interacts with the main character, a young girl with two mothers. The drag queen tells the girl, &#8220;Look at those moms! Honey, you have so much to be proud of. Y&#8217;all should join the parade!&#8221; Indeed, the two women and the hesitant child end up joining the parade.

&#8220;Moving forward, we want to see all sexually-explicit material and dangerous ideology removed from schools,&#8221; DeRosa told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Our children deserve a quality education and healthy learning environment.&#8221;
&#8220;We, as a community, are more united than ever,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;We were the majority for the first time here.&#8221;

DeRosa added that parents &#8220;will vote for new school board members in May,&#8221; noting that candidates for those positions were in attendance at Tuesday&#8217;s meeting.
Parents who stayed behind to voice their concerns about the book also spoke out about other aspects of &#8220;woke&#8221; ideology seeping into the district. One father, for example, said that students are now identifying as cats, and when others in the school speak out about the disruption, they are the ones reprimanded.

A new cartoon from Amazon Prime called &#8220;Hazbin Hotel&#8221; contains an episode that shows a character being &#8220;gang raped&#8221; and other characters wearing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/balenciaga-apologizes-for-advertisement-showcasing-minors-holding-bdsm-teddy-bear-purses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BDSM</a> attire.
Started as a pilot on YouTube in 2019, the new rated 18+ animated musical series launched on Friday on the streaming site. Following the pilot&#8217;s massive success, Independent studio A24 produced an 8-part series, four episodes of which hit the streaming site on Friday,  <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/elise-ehrhard/2024/01/22/lucifer-loving-cartoon-hazbin-hotel-shocks-porn-star-scene">Newsbusters.org</a> reported.
The series is set in hell, with Heaven described as heartless and cruel. Satan is not evil but is just a &#8220;rebellious dreamer&#8221; but &#8220;troublemaker&#8221; who&#8217;s been &#8220;cast out of&#8221; Heaven because he just wanted &#8220;to give human beings free will,&#8221; the outlet noted.
The introduction to the show included an explanation that in order for Hell, growing in numbers, to never create an army to defeat and take over Heaven, once a year, Heaven sends an army to keep Hell&#8217;s number&#8217;s down.
The NSFW <a href="https://twitter.com/HazbinHotel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clip</a> promoting the series can be viewed via X.
<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/hazbin-hotel-review-vivid-stylish-130000437.html">Yahoo.com</a> broke down Season 1, laying out the characters like Lucifer and Lilith&#8217;s daughter Charlie who opens a hotel &#8220;as a sort of moral rehab for sinners to cleanse their souls and escape Heaven&#8217;s wrath.&#8221;
The LGBTQ series features Charlie and her girlfriend named &#8220;vaggie&#8221; along with other characters like gay porn stars, a sadistic maid, and more. The show is laced with NSFW cuss words like &#8220;c**t,&#8221; &#8220;f**k,&#8221;  Newsbusters noted.  
In the fourth episode, titled &#8220;Masquerade,&#8221; porn star Angel Dust&#8217;s BDSM relationship is front and center along with a musical number titled &#8220;Poison,&#8221; Newsbusters noted. In the show, Angel looks up in fear as he is about to be &#8220;gang raped&#8221; by multiple creatures and is also shown going down a stripper pole, being &#8220;chained and choked.&#8221;
While the show is rated for adults, the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=600539231&amp;q=hazbin+hotel+merchandise&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=lnms&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwir54WdhfKDAxXqkmoFHSRsDzQQ0pQJegQICxAB&amp;cshid=1705962444973880&amp;biw=1440&amp;bih=653&amp;dpr=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">merchandise</a> from the show is geared towards teens and a younger audience, like &#8220;South Park,&#8221; a show which inspired the series creator Vivienne Medrano.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve always been really, really influenced by adult comedy,&#8221; Medrano told <a href="https://gizmodo.com/vivienne-medrano-hazbin-hotel-interview-prime-video-1851171109">Gizmodo</a>. I saw &#8216;South Park&#8217; at very young age and I was like, &#8216;Oh my gosh, swearing is so fun.&#8217; It really just changed the entire trajectory of my career.&#8221;
&#8220;So making an adult animated comedy was always kind of in the cards for me, but I&#8217;m also a huge musical theater fan,&#8221; she added. &#8220;So to combine that into this raunchy musical that&#8217;s animated and looks so fluid and appealing was all the things I love, and that really resonated with people.&#8221;
A second season has already been ordered, the outlet noted.
