In pockets of the country, state education officials and local school boards are responding to complaints from some parents by conducting widespread audits of school libraries and removing books deemed inappropriate for students.

Rabih Abuismail, a 24-year-old member of the Spotsylvania County school board, argued in a board meeting Monday night that the inclusion of gay sex in the book,"33 Snowfish," by Adam Rapp, which had brought a complaint from one parent that night, disqualified it from being in school libraries. In an interview this week with ABC News, Abuismail insisted his comments about homosexuality were misstatements, and that the book burning remark was"completely blown out of proportion."
Ryan Brown, a spokesperson for the South Carolina Department of Education, told ABC News that local school officials decide what to put in libraries, not the state. But he said he agreed with McMaster that"Gender Queer," which contains images of oral sex and masturbation, is not appropriate for students.
