The Dirty Book List

Here we are going to provide a list of all the books of concern in the Cameron school district. The “dirty book list” encompasses books which range from containing graphic sexually explicit content down through books which push gender and sexuality ideology to kids. We believe it is thew role of the parents to teach those things, not the schools.

This isn’t a comprehensive list of all the books, just the ones we are able to find without the help of the district. This list doesn’t include a lot of the books found in other states. We will break down the books by school to further help you search your schools for these books. Look for the “LINK” after each book and author pair to get a glimpse of what is in that book. There will not be a link for every book.
