"Revolutionary Voices" is a collection of essays intended to inspire pride in gay kids. Approved for grades nine to 12, a review by the American Library Association states:
"Not all of the young writers featured here may be revolutionaries, but they all embrace a queer youth culture that is about gender, race and class as much as it is about sexuality. The voices are raw and sometimes unpolished, and the language is passionate, powerful and only occasionally graphic."
Perhaps. But Page 103 is graphic. It depicts two men engaged in sex while a pair of youngsters in Boy Scout uniforms watch, the older boy smiling and pointing. Over the sketch are the words "Boy to Man."

About a dozen residents came to the school board meeting requesting the book be removed from the high school library, where it is available to any kid who wants to check it out.

When Superintendent Moskalski said it wasn't certain if the books are in the library, I suggested we go and see. He declined, but said: "If we have a book that promotes homosexual behavior, we will remove it."
