“An anonymous person accused her of holding a book containing child pornography,” a department representative wrote. “Officer asked to view it and she showed him the book. Officer found no child pornography in the book. She was not detained nor was she or her car searched.”

Pro-LGBTQ activists and allies protested the “Back the Blue” event as well as Campbell’s campaign.

Campbell has a history of making outlandish claims about Massachusetts’s public education system. At the state GOP party convention in May, she asserted with no evidence that fifth graders were being encouraged to perform sex acts on each other. She also attacked Gender Queer.

“This is not sexual education, this is child porn and sex trafficking. This book is being pushed out in our public schools,” Campbell said of Maia Kobabe’s illustrated memoir.

As CBS Boston reported at the time, Gender Queer is not in fact part of any public school curriculum. It has, however, become one of the most often challenged books in the U.S., and has been removed from library shelves around the country.

1. She should be sued for whatever applies. Defamation? Libel? Slander? I'm sure

there is a legal designation that would work, but this creep needs to be slapped down.
