Elmbrook Says They Protect Against Child Sex Trafficking While Introducing a K5 Book With Questionable Images
Is there a disconnect between words and actions?
At the 12/14/21 Elmbrook Board meeting, recommendations from WASB (Wisconsin Association of School Boards) to protect children from child sex trafficking were voted on. In the same evening, the Board voted on new Social Studies curriculum, where a K5 book has an adult saying “yummy” when looking at a young child in a fashion show.
All books were pulled off from the vote due to community objection, but they will be coming back at a later date. The Elmbrook administration strongly supports their choice and use of "I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem" by Jamie Lee Curtis in K5 Social Studies curriculum.

K5 Social Studies Curriculum
Other much more concerning books have brought to the Board's attention - which remain in print and digital libraries - normalize sexual behavior at young ages. This, unfortunately, grooms children for sex traffickers - the exact opposite of what Elmbrook is saying they want to protect against.
