From Breitbart: Lawmakers in the state of Connecticut silenced Republicans as they read graphic excerpts from books available in school libraries.
The stunning display occurred during a late-night debate on Tuesday when veteran Republican lawmaker, Rep. Anne Dauphinais of Danielson stood up to read graphic sexual references in a school library book. According to the Hartford Courant, Dauphinais expressed concern “that portions of the ‘library bill’ had been inserted into the 693-page state budget that lawmakers were debating at about 11 p.m. Monday.”
Dauphinais read the charged language, claiming that state students could read them in available school libraries. One excerpt came from the book Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, which was later adapted into a film.
Dauphinais read experts that referred to sexual acts, prompting Rep. Juan Candelaria (D), deputy House Speaker, to interrupt.
“Madam, I would ask that we not try to use that type of language in the chamber and try to keep some decorum,” he said. “I know you were talking of specific books, but if we could refrain from those type of words because there are also people and children watching this debate.”
“I would ask kindly if we could just use either a different word or something different just out of respect for others that might get offended. Thank you,” he added.
“Mr. Speaker, I stand here to share with the chamber the books that are available in our public school libraries to the very children you’re telling me that this language isn’t appropriate in this chamber,” Dauphinais explained. “This is in elementary school libraries, approved by the very individuals that are supposed to be the experts.”
