Jenn Giroux, a mother of nine who is running for the State House in the 27th district, opposes the sexual indoctrination of children.

Opening up a child's awareness of graphic books and removing the parents from the picture is unacceptable, according to Giroux. Apart from those, "they’ve taken us backward on the racial issues, and it has done so in a very malicious manner to try and indoctrinate our children, to hate America," she said. 

Giroux touts that she is "very passionate about protecting the innocence of children."

“My youngest just graduated from college, so it has gotten far worse. Even in the last four years, I have seen books that are in the schools, and I have to say it is a deliberate abuse of children to try and expose them to information that can harm them for the rest of their lives," Giroux said. "And what I mean by that is, No. 1, once you expose them to sex education on the vile graphic things that they talk about, the books and some of them are obscene and you can’t take that back from a child’s mind. You also take away the parent’s authority, which is only with the parents in terms of sex services and the kids' sex education – sexuality. Also, they teach them reading, writing and arithmetic, and now and all the other things for life. Now they teach them critical race theory, but they live in a racist country and then they can be judged differently because of their skin color. And they are influencing the young minds of these children. And so to me, they’re creating the confusion.”

As calls for the banning of certain books are becoming louder in Ohio and across the country, the Hudson County School District has just removed the four books from its library which includes "642 Things to Write About"; "A Girl on the Shore"; "Lawn Boy" and "Gender Queer." The contents in these books were described as "inappropriate," "offensive" or "sexually perverse." The aforementioned books talk about gender identity and both homosexual and heterosexual couples having sex; these books were meant for high schoolers. Parent Katie Paris backs such books, saying kids need to “learn other perspectives that may not necessarily be your own.” This debate has gone all way to the Ohio State Legislature with the introduction of House Bill N.O. 327. It has been dubbed the “divisive concepts” bill, and it seeks to ban the teaching of topics that may be deemed controversial. However, not everyone is on board, with some legislatures being wary that the bill grants the state too much power. However, proponents of the bill say they want to focus mainly on gender identity and critical race theory, News 5 Cleveland reported.

The book "Gender Queer" written by Maia Kobabe has been removed from Harlem High School in Illinois after many parents and community members have said it’s porn. A passage of the book reads, “I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you.” The controversial book also contains graphic sexual scenes. The film “Whose Children Are They” alleges that left-wing teachers have spent time in class peddling controversial topics such as gender identity and sex education. Kristin Jenson of Defend Young Minds underscored that adults talking about sex with kids is “grooming behavior parents should recognize,” according to Rockford Sun.

The 27th District includes parts of Cincinnati, Anderson Indian Hill, Simms Township and Hyde Park. Giroux also strongly opposes abortion and said that every child deserves a good education. During her time as a nurse, she had a front-row seat to the COVID-19 pandemic and called many of the measures taken, especially family separation in hospitals, “unreasonable,” according to the Cincy Reporter.
