A Republican dreaming of becoming secretary of state of Missouri reduced a Quebec book on sexuality aimed at adolescents to ashes with a flamethrower.
In a short video published by the social network X on Tuesday, we can see Valentina Gomez burning two books, including Naked, the English version of All naked! The caring dictionary of sexuality written by Quebec sexologist Myriam Daguzan Bernier.
The book launched in 2019 in Quebec is a reference work for adolescents who can find plenty of definitions of concepts related to sexuality, ranging from what the acronym LGBT+ means to what consent is.
In Ms. Gomez’s eyes, the book serves more as an indoctrination tool.
“When I am Secretary of State, I will burn all the books that sexually solicit, indoctrinate and sexualize our children,” the candidate promised, sharing the term MAGA, an abbreviated version of the slogan “Make America Great Again” to America) popularized by Donald Trump.
Many Internet users protested the publication, several drawing parallels between the burning of books and Nazism.

The publication was moderated for a time by the social network, before being reinstated to the great pleasure of the main interested party who thanked the owner of X, Elon Musk.
A fervent believer, the Republican believes that Christianity is attacked in the United States by the left “which defends Satanism”, as she explained in a video published on January 31.
Valentina Gomez seems to enjoy handing out jabs to her northern neighbors. On February 1, after a raccoon plunged an entire Toronto neighborhood into darkness, she mocked Canada by claiming that Canadians would adopt the slogan “Raccoon Lives Matter,” modeled on the “Black Lives Matter” movement. “.
