CONCORD, N.H. — A growing number of New Hampshire parents are raising alarms over the presence of highly graphic and sexually explicit material in public school libraries, as documented images from books available to minors show step-by-step instructions for sex acts, definitions of fetishes, and depictions of adult hookup apps, all under the banner of "educational content".
Books like This Book Is Gay, Let's Talk About It, and Boy Toy contain content that many parents would consider pornographic. They have been found in numerous school libraries across the state, including Concord High School, Merrimack Middle School, Souhegan High School, and Exeter High School.
Among the more disturbing excerpts:
Descriptions of “rimming,” “glory holes,” and “scat” (eating feces).
Visual diagrams of sexual positions and how-to guides for masturbation and oral sex.
Definitions of kink-related terms and references to adult-only hookup platforms like Grindr, complete with notes on techniques and cautionary tips.
This material is not buried in obscure digital archives, it is physically accessible in school libraries and has been recommended in some curricula without parental notification. Photographic evidence submitted by parents and obtained by The Granite Eagle shows uncensored pages featuring full-frontal sexual illustrations and graphic sexual descriptions.

Back to the story...
In response to these concerns, 12 Representatives sponsored House Bill 324, which aimed to ban “obscene or harmful” sexual materials in public schools. The bill created a clear process for evaluating potentially harmful materials and holding school districts accountable, including civil penalties for noncompliance. The bill overwhelmingly passed both the House (183-148) and the Senate (15-8).
Rep. Kristin Noble (R-Bedford), Vice Chair of the NH House Education Committee, confirmed with the Granite Eagle that she hand delivered the explicit photos discovered in the books, as well as the names of the books to Gov. Ayotte's staff. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Ayotte on July 15th, 2025.
“New Hampshire law requires school districts to adopt a policy allowing an exception to specific course material based on a parent's determination that the material is objectionable,” Ayotte wrote. “Therefore, I do not believe the State of New Hampshire needs to engage in the role of addressing questions of literary value and appropriateness.”
She also expressed concern that HB 324 might invite “unnecessary litigation from out-of-state groups.”
Despite the veto, the materials remain in circulation. In total, This Book Is Gay has been found in at least 10 New Hampshire schools. Tricks, a novel containing explicit accounts of teenage prostitution and rape, has appeared in more than a dozen. SAGA, a graphic novel with vivid illustrations of oral sex and exposed genitalia, is in use in at least two districts.
The question going forward is whether the current system gives parents meaningful control, or whether local school districts will continue to quietly stock explicit material under the protection of vague educational standards.
At the Granite Eagle, we strongly believe parents deserve to be informed about explicit materails that are available to their children. We'll leave it to New Hampshire parents to decide if it's appropriate for children as young as 11 years old to have access to this type of content at school.
For those seeking to learn more, photographic excerpts from the books in question are included below. Again, viewer discretion is strongly advised. You have been warned. The Granite Eagle has blurred certain aspects of the most graphic photos.
