Pastor Removed From School Board Meeting After Reading Explicit Book Available to Students

A pastor was removed from a Texas school board meeting after reading content from an explicit book available to students at the Midland Independent School District.

Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. shared content from the book “Push.” The book depicts incest, rape, pedophilia, and a variety of vulgarity.

“This needs to be removed tonight! We have six men on this board. And I want to say to these men that’s on this board, if you don’t remove this book, you’re either a punk or a pervert!” Amanchukwu declared.

“Remove the trash! Take it out tonight,” he added. “These students deserve better. You’re either a punk or a pervert if you leave it in here.”

Amanchukwu’s microphone was muted and he was forcibly removed from the meeting by police.

Last year, Amanchukwu began to read a passage from Jay Asher’s 13 Reasons Why, but was told to stop after one sentence.

“I’ll stop you. Sir, I’ll stop you there,” the member stated.

As he attempted to continue reading the pornographic passage, security approached Amanchukwu and removed him from the meeting.

“Three warnings, I’ve asked you please—” the board member said in between Pastor Amanchukwu’s protests.
