Algeria sends deported Algerian straight back to France

Algeria has immediately returned an Algerian influencer who was deported by France back to where he came from, aggravating diplomatic tensions between both countries.

The North African country’s authorities refused to accept their own national, influencer, who posts under the name “Doualemn”, and put him on a back plane to France moments after he landed, turning his deportation into a practically useless return trip of a few hours.

He was later placed in an administrative detention centre in Île-de-France, on January 9.

He had been forced to leave France for allegedly inciting hatred and violence.

Doualemn was one several Algerians with a significant following on social media who had recently called for attacking people connected to the Algerian opposition.

The influencer, whose real name was given as Boualem N, is a resident of Montpellier. He reportedly has 138,000 followers on TikTok.

He had warned people on his channel not to demonstrate against the Algerian regime in France on January 1 and called for an activist named Cohen to be killed because he had “shared” his video.

That led to his expulsion from France, as was the case with two other so-called influencers posting as “Zazouyoucef” and “Imadtintin”. They had similarly called for attacks on sympathisers of the Algerian opposition and made anti-Semitic comments.

Imadtintin was arrested after he posted a video that garnered nearly 858,000 views. In the recording, he said: “I swear before Allah, we are going to rape you all, in Algeria and in France. Here, those who know how to handle weapons will finish you off… No one will defend you in France.”

He also called for people to be “burned alive, killed and raped on French soil”.

On January 9, a French-Algerian TikToker in her 50s, Sofia Benlemmane, was taken into custody for allegedly having disseminated hate messages and threats.

She was held over accusations of making “death threats and public incitement to hatred”, Nelson Bouard, interregional director of the national police, told news agency AFP.

Despite Doualemn being in favour of the Algerian regime, the country did not allow him in, citing an “exceptional law” of 2008. That provided for the exclusion from the territory of any national likely to represent a threat, including terrorism.

According to French officials, cited by news outlet Europe 1, the Algerian authorities seemed to have “gone beyond this law”, and abused their power.

French police sources told the news outlet that the officers who had accompanied the influencer on the flight were forced to return with him. Leaving him there would have violated international law and risked their own arrest and detention, they said.

Doualemn entered France illegally in 1988 at the age of 23. According to the deportation order, hel has been convicted multiple times for common criminal offences.

In 2010, he was granted legal residency as the parent of a French child.

French government officials said: “It is a terrible signal that Algeria is giving to France,” adding he suspected the move was designed to aggravate France.

“It is clear that Algeria is seeking to humiliate France,”said interior minister Bruno Retailleau, stressing that relations with Algeria had “reached a single extremely worrying point”.

Valérie Pécresse, President of the Île-de-France region, denounced what she called a “new, unbearable provocation”.

Many on the Right have been demanding firm measures against Algeria, in particular the end of the Franco-Algerian agreement. That is a bilateral treaty that governs migration, residency and employment rights for Algerian nationals in France, providing them with specific privileges compared to other non-European Union foreigners.

Jordan Bardella, President of France’s right-wing National Rally (RN) party, said: “Faced with the openly hostile attitude of Algeria, which has regularly refused to take back its unwanted nationals, we must finally be clear-sighted and dare to take a stand: Freezing private fund transfers, suspending the issuing of visas, ending public development aid, challenging the Franco-Algerian treaty of 1968.

“France must finally earn the respect of a country that has long since exceeded all limits of indecency.”

Eric Ciotti a right-wing MP allied with the RN, said: “France cannot accept to be humiliated in this way by Algeria.

“The only response is the immediate revocation of the 1968 agreements and no longer welcoming a single Algerian in France.”

Hard -ight MEP Sarah Knafo said it was time “to divorce Algeria for good”.

“But the problem is that we had custody of the children and we continue to pay child support. So we are doing what we should have done: firmness and an end to naivety,” she added.

Doualemn’s lawyer laid the blame on the French GGovernment.

He told the daily Le Figaro that the administration had “rushed his deportation” to avoid it “being examined by a judge”.

Doualemn’s trial is scheduled for February 24 in Montpellier.

France and Algeria’s diplomatic contacts have been further on the edge since the December 17 arrest of the 75-year-old French-Algerian writer and regime critic in Algeria, Boualem Sansal.

France has declared it stood squarely behind Sansal and announced a new partnership with Morocco, a geopolitical enemy of Algeria.

Algeria said it regarded the clampdown on the three Algerian influencers as part of that.

Regarding France’s support of Sansal, the People’s National Assembly, the lower house of the Algerian parliament, strongly condemned the remarks made against Algeria by French President Emmanuel Macron.

In late December, it expressed its “firm condemnation of the irresponsible statements issued by the French President, which constitute a flagrant interference in the internal affairs of Algeria and an attack on its sovereignty and dignity concerning an issue related to Algerian laws”.

Italy: Moroccan jailed for acid and knife attack against ex-girlfriend vows to finish the job as he’s sent down

Said Cherrah, 26, was sentenced to 11 years for a brutal acid attack against his ex-girlfriend, but his attacks against her didn’t end there. (Facebook)

A Moroccan national living in Italy was sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Como court on Thursday for stalking and permanently disfiguring his ex-girlfriend in two brutal acid and knife attacks — but shocked the courtroom by shouting from the dock to his victim, “I have to kill you. I’ll be out in three years anyway!”

As reported by Il Giornale, Said Cherrah, a 26-year-old Morrocan with a residence permit, ambushed his ex-girlfriend near her workplace in Erba on Nov. 23, 2023, despite being the subject of a restraining order for previous threats and violent behavior.

Armed with hydrochloric acid, he threw the corrosive liquid at her, causing severe and permanent injuries and scarring to her face. The attack was carried out despite a previous arrest and legal restrictions and was only stopped when nearby workers intervened after hearing her agonized screams. Cherrah was arrested on the scene.

Despite the nature of the offense, Cherrah was put under house arrest while awaiting trial. Unsurprisingly, the defendant ignored the conditions and in December 2024, revisited his ex-girlfriend and stabbed her in the back, leaving her wheelchair-bound.

At the time, his trial for the acid attack was already underway.

Cherrah arrogantly addressed the prosecutor during cross-examination, saying, “Don’t look at me like that” as he displayed little remorse throughout the trial.

The courtroom fell silent as Cherrah addressed his ex-girlfriend, who was present and confined to a wheelchair as a result of his previous attacks. In Arabic, later translated into Italian, he added, “Why aren’t you dead? I have to kill you, sooner or later I’ll get out.”

His threats prompted immediate intervention by prison police, who removed him from the courtroom to prevent further escalation.

Cherrah will soon face another trial for the December 2024 stabbing attack, in addition to serving his current 11-year sentence.

Academia today: Censor Homer, laud Hamas

Portrait of Chaucer as a Canterbury pilgrim, Ellesmere manuscript of The Canterbury Tales. Wikimedia Commons, Adam Pinkhurst, CC-PD-Mark

by Giulio Meotti

The University of Exeter, one of the UK’s top 24 universities (and among the world’s top 100), has been warning undergraduates since January that they may “encounter uncomfortable views and content” in their studies of Homer.

Former prime minister Boris Johnson, who studied Greek and Latin, responded: “Is the University of Exeter saying their students are so weak-minded that they cannot appreciate Homer?” Yes, they are.

In September, Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” – one of the most important books in the history of world literature that Harold Bloom considered “second only to Shakespeare” – was censored for its “expressions of Christian faith” at the University of Nottingham.

And Joyce’s masterpiece “Ulysses” was censored at the University of Glasgow (not Tehran), where Joyce’s 800-page account of an ordinary man’s day in Dublin was deemed offensive for its references to “race, gender and identity.”

The assault on Western culture and civilisation is proceeding apace and even the father of literature is now banned. Homer is being subjected to the usual incomprehensible criticisms, even though The Iliad remains the source of our civilisation and literary and cultural tradition.

And perhaps that is why he is under attack.

Just read “How the World Made the West” by Josephine Quinn, a leading professor of ancient history at Oxford, who wants to destroy everything that generations of scholars and university students have been taught to be proud of, namely Western values ​​and achievements. Quinn tells us that there is no such thing as “Western civilisation”. The world made the West, not the other way around.

The capitulation of the cultural establishment to woke progressives appears complete.

First, students at the famous School of Oriental Studies at the University of London (SOAS) are asked to ban Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. These philosophers had a serious “fault”: they were white and also exponents of “colonialism”. Then Socrates and Aristotle are “racists and colonialists” according to the famous London university, which draws up a blacklist of Western thinkers to be replaced with Indian feminists and Nigerian “gender theorists.”

Now Cambridge University also teaches students that the Anglo-Saxons are a “myth” to be overcome in order to build an “anti-racist” civilization.

One of the goals of this ideology is to break Western supremacy by studying “invisible” peoples, led by Islam.

Greece was the first to pronounce the word “Europe”, and therefore to shape the idea of ​​it. It is found in a poetic hymn, as old as Homer’s Iliad. By sponsoring his oracular temple at Delphi, Apollo informs us that they will all come to worship him, “from the Peloponnese, from Europe and from the islands battered by the wave.”

This is why this anti-Homeric obsession is ultimately a destructive will aimed towards Europe.

And if the woke nihilists seem to have little in common with the ayatollahs, they seem to share their obsession with Homer.

A warehouse of half a million books was discovered in a hangar in Tehran, including Homer’s “Iliad”. The Islamic Revolution did not like them, and confiscated them in 1979.

For those of you who are not yet convinced that the destruction of culture is seen as the key to imposing the dictatorship of political correctness, you can read “Humanism and Democratic Criticism” (2004) by the late American-Palestinian Arab intellectual Edward Said. He describes American universities before the 1980s: cradles of the cultural and literary tradition of the West, where Homer, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Plato, Aristotle, the Bible, Virgil, Dante, Cervantes, Augustine and Dostoevsky were devoutly read.

Said recounts with satisfaction how in the space of twenty years this tradition was destroyed to create a new “humanism” and cites as a model the “regeneration” of Columbia, where he had become a professor. It was a gigantic emptying of heads to remake them from scratch.

And something else was put in those heads.

They are offended by the literary rapes in Ovid, but not by the real rapes of Hamas. First they erase Ovid, then they bring in Jihad. The French historian Georges Bensoussan is right, “Israel destabilizes the psyche of the West and Islam.”

Richard Seaford, professor emeritus of Classics at the University of Exeter who now censors Homer, has refused to write for Israeli academic journals. “Professor Seaford, I am the editor of Scripta Classica Israelica,” Daniela Dueck of Israel’s Bar Ilan University wrote to him. “We would like to include a review of the book in our volume… Would you be interested?” Seaford’s response: “I can’t accept because I joined the academic boycott of Israel.”

They censor Homer, boycott Israel, and justify Jihad. One of Exeter’s professors, Ilan Pappé, says he “admires” October 7.

We know the phrase attributed to Aristotle: “Apathy is the last virtue of a dying society.” We would do well to remember that.

Trans-Identified Male Axe Attacker Released After Serving Sentence in Women’s Prison

A trans-identified male who, on a drug-fueled rampage, hacked at passersby with an axe in 2017 has been released on parole after serving a portion of his sentence in a women’s prison. Evie Amati, previously known as Karl Amati, was 24 when he walked into a 7-11 in Sydney and indiscriminately assaulted two customers with an axe.

In the early hours of January 7, 2017, Amati entered the Enmore 7-11, where he suddenly bludgeoned Ben Rimmer and Susan Hacker with a 2 kilogram axe he had brought with him. The brutal attack was captured on CCTV footage and shows Rimmer bleeding profusely from the head, and Hacker falling to the ground, after the assault. Once outside the shop, Amati swung at pedestrian Shane Redwood, who dodged the attack by using his backpack as a shield.

Rimmer had begun vomiting blood, as the injuries to his face cause such severe bleeding that he nearly drowned. He sustained a fractured nasal bone, eye socket and cheek bones, and underwent hours of reconstructive surgery. His injuries required the insertion of plates and screws, and he will spend the rest of his life with four titanium plates in his face.

Karl ‘Evie’ Amati prior to identifying as transgender.

A bone in Hacker’s skull was broken into multiple parts, and she had to wear a supportive cervical collar for months. She continues to experience nerve pain, and has said that the attack also impacted her daughter, who developed a fear of going outside after dark.

Amati would later blame his actions on a variety of personal factors, including: complications from a genital surgery he underwent in Thailand in 2014; a failed Tinder date with a woman; depression; and a mixture of drugs. However, during court proceedings it was revealed that he had purchased the axe two months prior and had been practicing his swing on his furniture.

Approximately one hour before the attack, Amati had made an eerie post to his Facebook account which read: “One day I am going to kill a lot of people… Humans are only able to destroy, to hate, so that is what I shall do.”

The message was similar to one he had sent directly to his female date one hour before the attack, writing: “One day I’m going to kill a lot of people for hating something so innocent.”

In 2018, a New South Wales District Court convicted Amati of wounding with intent to murder, causing grievous bodily harm with intent to murder and attempting to wound with intent to murder. He was sentenced to nine years in jail with a non-parole period of four-and-a-half years, after his lawyer argued that his transsexual surgery had caused him immense pain and contributed to his attempt to kill random strangers.

But Amati’s term was increased to a possible maximum of 14 years in 2019 after an appeal found that the original sentence was “so manifestly inadequate that it is an affront to the administration of justice.” Rimmer came forward to challenge the sentence, telling the court, “If I hadn’t turned my head at the last minute, she would have cut my head in half … She went there to kill. It’s only pure luck that I’m alive and she’s not remorseful. She’s intelligent … calculating,” he said, referring to Amati with feminine pronouns.

Amati was reported in Australian press as a “woman,” and feminine pronouns were used to refer to him in court. His lawyer, Charles Waterstreet, had argued that Amati had been “out of her mind” at the time as a result of drugs and prescription medication.

Amati testified that his mental health had declined after he began taking female hormones. However, the jury rejected the claim of Amati’s “mental derangement”. He had claimed to have no recollection of the brutal assault and said he had been hearing voices in his head which told him to “kill and maim” and “start the rise of hell on earth.”

After experiencing what he perceived to be rejection and revulsion from his date only hours before, Amati stated that he “really had one more memory … that voice that had been telling me to kill and maim, and inflict pain on people, and start the rise of hell on earth.”

“I recall everything going quiet and feeling that voice come inside and I remember that smile, the smile that was not mine, a sinister smile that plastered my face that I couldn’t control and then I black(ed) out.”

Sometime between 2018 and 2019, Amati had been involved in fights at the all-female Mary Wade Women’s Correctional Centre where he was being detained. During the appeal against Amati’s short sentence, it was revealed that he and a female inmate had a physical altercation after the inmate told Amati he belonged in a male prison.

One of the reasons provided for this dispute was the fact that Amati had chosen to abstain from taking female hormones and was said to be “de-transitioning.”

Prior to his release, Amati was assessed as having a “low to medium” risk of reoffending by NSW Community Corrections.

Prison gender self-identification laws have become a significant discussion in Australia following a 2022 protest by female inmates in Victoria against a trans-identified male they were being incarcerated with.

While the name of the transferred inmate was not initially released, Reduxx found that the details from the criminal’s background mirrored that of Lisa Jones, a trans-identified male who had been sentenced to 3 years and 3 months in prison for sexually assaulting a woman in 2021. Jones had previous convictions for child sex offenses.

Despite the women’s protest, the practice of placing males in women’s prisons across Australia continues, with different states regulating their own policies.

UK: Grooming gangs sexually abuse two children every day, groundbreaking figures reveal

Grooming gangs are committing more than two child sexual abuse offences every day across England and Wales, shocking new police figures have revealed.

The groundbreaking data, collected from all 43 police forces, shows the first comprehensive national picture of group-based child sexual exploitation.

The figures emerged through a new national police scheme established to analyse “group-based” child sexual abuse after previous failures to collect quality data on perpetrators and victims were thrust back into the spotlight this week.

Police recorded 717 child sexual exploitation “grooming” crimes in 2023, with a further 572 offences documented in the first nine months of 2024.

The data comes from the Hydrant Programme, which was established after Professor Alexis Jay’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse warned there had been a “widespread failure” to collect “good quality” data.

The inquiry’s 2022 report warned that inadequate data collection had led to a “one-sided and often uninformed debate” about perpetrators’ ethnic backgrounds – hampering both the pursuit of offenders and support for victims.

The new analysis reveals that “group-based” offending – involving two or more individuals – accounted for 4,228 offences in 2023.

This represents 3.7 per cent of all 115,489 child sexual abuse and exploitation crimes, including online offences.

Of these group-based crimes, 17 per cent – or 717 cases – were specifically “grooming gang” offences. That’s more than 1.96 every say.

Family-based abuse, where two or more family members were involved, made up 26 per cent of group offences.

Police have also identified a significant number of cases involving child-on-child abuse, which investigators believe has been fuelled by internet pornography and young people’s online lifestyles.

The majority of perpetrators – 83 per cent – were identified as white, with seven per cent Asian, five per cent black and three per cent mixed race.

However, police cautioned that this ethnic breakdown was “limited” as it only covered 34 per cent of suspects.

Richard Fewkes, director of the Hydrant Programme, said the data suggested offenders reflected the UK’s overall ethnic mix.

“In very general terms, what we see across all group based offending is that no particular ethnicity stands out based on population data,” he told The Telegraph.

Police forces acknowledged past “cultural sensitivities” had impeded investigations but insisted this was “absolutely not” the case now.

In the past, police and prosecutors often failed to take action against groomers, who have been typically of British-Pakistani origin, over fears of being branded racist or Islamophobic.

Sir Keir Starmer had warned as much in 2012 when he was Director of Public Prosecutions, saying: “In a number of cases presented to us, particularly in cases involving groups, there’s clearly an issue of ethnicity that has to be understood and addressed. As prosecutors we shouldn’t shy away from that.”

Sweden is closing churches to meet climate goals, including historic churches from the Middle Ages

The Church of Sweden is closing down historic churches during the colder months of the year to meet its climate agenda goals.

The Lutheran national Church of Sweden will close down seven churches on the island of Gotland, including historic churches from the Middle Ages, from October to May every year.

The Swedish radio station Sveriges Radio reported that churches in Gotland that are heated with oil will be affected by the closures due to the Church of Sweden’s official climate roadmap that seeks to eliminate the use fossil fuels for heating until the end of 2027. Because it is too expensive to switch to other energy sources for heating, the pastorate of the town of Romakloster decided to close down the churches because they could not be heated for church services.

“People are disappointed, but I don’t really know what else to do,” said Mathias Eldnor, the cemetery and property manager for Romakloster’s pastorate.

Stressing its commitment to the mainstream climate alarmism, which appears to have taken the place of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Church of Sweden states in its climate roadmap: “Knowledge about climate justice should permeate all activities of Church of Sweden.”

Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen commented on church closure: “The Church of Sweden is very progressive. For example, some years ago the encouraged clergy to use gender neutral language when talking about God, despite the Bible being very clear that God is masculine.”

“Now they are essentially engaging in climate lockdowns,” he added.

“Seems to me that the woke climate cult religion is more important for them now than Christianity,” Imanuelsen concluded.

The Church of Sweden has been in decline for decades, going from 7.75 million members (95.2 percent of the population) in 1972 to 5.48 million (52.8 percent of the population) in 2023. Although over 50 percent of the population are still members of the Lutheran state church, only 19 percent of these members declare themselves to be religious, as Sweden is one of the most secularized countries in the world.

France: On the way to a ‘business meeting’, two youths assault him and demand that he should chant ‘long live Allah’. When he refuses, they thrust a knife into his hand

Two 17-year-old minors suspected of several serious thefts in Vitry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne) will be referred to the Créteil public prosecutor’s office on Thursday the 9th of January and will be brought before a juvenile court judge later that day. The minors will be presented ‘in view of a summons to a hearing to examine the question of guilt before the juvenile court on the 13th of February 2025’ for thefts aggravated by three circumstances – in a masked group, using a weapon.

The robbery on the 2nd December had a religious background. On that day, a young man was ambushed in the ‘Lucien Français’ neighbourhood in Vitry-sur-Seine. When he wanted to go to an appointment for a ‘business connection’, he was attacked by two people armed with a knife.

They forced him to say ‘long live Allah’ several times, as Le Figaro learnt from consistent sources. When the young man refused to do so, he was stabbed in the hand with a knife and filed a complaint.

A 25-year-old Syrian man caused panic at Dortmund’s main train station this week after arguing with passengers on a regional train and threatening to kill them before brandishing a replica AK-47 assault rifle.

The incident occurred on Tuesday morning around 11:30 a.m. on Regional Express 34 between Siegen and Dortmund. A passenger alerted authorities to the suspect’s behavior, and armed federal police officers quickly intervened and surrounded the man.

The migrant complied with orders and was arrested without resistance.

According to a police spokesman, the weapon was a non-functional replica stored in the man’s backpack at the time of the arrest. Witnesses reported that the suspect repeatedly removed the rifle from his bag and appeared to scan his surroundings but did not aim it at anyone. However, he allegedly threatened two men, aged 30 and 31, stating he would kill them.

Bild reported that a subsequent search revealed the man had immigration documents bearing false personal details.

He was temporarily detained at the North Rhine-Westphalia police station but was released after questioning.

Investigations are ongoing, but the suspect could still be charged with threatening behavior, presenting false identification, and violating the Weapons Act.

Taiwanese Parents Outraged After Gender Identity Survey Given To Schoolchildren Asks Whether They’ve Taken Lewd Photos Of Themselves

A prestigious school in Taipei has become embroiled in controversy following reports that sexually explicit surveys had been distributed to its students without parental consent. Taipei American School (TAS), a private international institution focusing on an “American” curriculum, sparked backlash from parents for exposing children to extremely graphic material promoting gender ideology.

The “Sexuality Survey” was the directive of the Head of the Upper School Physical Education (PE) Department, who ordered faculty to administer it to students aged 14-15 years old. The survey, reportedly approved by the male department head and created by another male PE faculty member, contained questions that many parents and educators found highly invasive and inappropriate for the age group.

Children were encouraged to be “courageous” when answering questions such as:

  •  Have you ever taken nude or sexually explicit pictures of yourself? 
  •  Have you had sexual intercourse? (Penile, vaginal, or anal penetration) 
  •  Have you ever sexted? 
  •  Do you feel comfortable with your knowledge about Gender Orientation? If you don’t know what this is, your answer is no!
Some of the questions from the survey distributed to students at TAS.

Reduxx was informed that when the survey was first distributed in March of 2023, parents quickly began raising concerns about its ethical implications and appropriateness for students. Their objections were communicated to the department head and principal, including warnings that the content and the process of having students report and discuss sensitive topics, such as their “gender identity” and sexual acts, with teachers were inappropriate.

The growing discontent among parents was documented in multiple communications with school administrators, who resisted acting on these concerns and failed to address the issue promptly.

Some parents even expressed a desire to remove their child from the Physical Education program as a result of the survey’s continued circulation. By mid-April, parent complaints intensified, culminating in direct appeals to school leadership. Despite these warnings and objections, the survey remained active.

Senior administrators, including the former Head of School, the former Upper School Principal, and current associate principals, were aware of the survey and the backlash it generated. Despite knowledge of the survey’s sexually explicit content and promotion of radical gender identity ideology, and the clear objections from both faculty and parents, no action appears to have been taken to address the situation.

Since TAS operates in Taiwan, it falls under Taiwanese laws, particularly concerning operations, employment, and facilities. In Taiwan, there is no specific law mandating parental consent for student surveys, including those addressing explicit topics such as sexual behavior.  

TAS, which abides by an American-style curriculum intended to prepare students for college in the United States, has in recent years been active in promoting gender ideology on their campus. Guidelines set in place allow students to compete in sports and access restrooms as the “gender identity” of their choice, and facilitate coercive pronoun usage on campus.

Teachers have been instructed to use “preferred” names and pronouns of students, and to hide this from parents in parent-teacher meetings if the parents are known to object to gender ideology. Staff who have voiced opposition to these school policies have reportedly been threatened with loss of employment if they continue to speak out.

This is not the first time TAS has faced scrutiny for misconduct and a lack of transparency. Over the years, there have been multiple instances of alleged sexual misconduct between teachers and students and administrative failures that have come to light, raising serious questions about the institution’s commitment to accountability and the well-being of its community members. 

A lack of communication on the unpopular measures has left parents questioning the school’s commitment to maintaining trust with families.

“If they feel comfortable asking such intimate questions without informing us, what else are they hiding?” one parent remarked. “This is Taiwan, not Canada or the USA. We don’t want our children discussing ‘gender identities’ without us knowing. It’s not even part of our culture in Taiwan.”

Posters advertise sexually explicit books, like Gender Queer and This Book is Gay, at the TAS High School Library. 

Adding to the controversy is the presence of multiple sexually explicit books promoting concepts popularized within gender ideology in the school’s libraries, sparking further outrage among parents and faculty. Titles such as Gender Queer and This Book is Gay have come under fire for graphic depictions of sexual acts and controversial themes that critics argue are inappropriate for students. While debates over explicit content in schools have been highly visible across Western nations, this is the first reported instance of such issues surfacing in Taiwan.

One book available to students, Gender Queer, contains illustrations of oral sex using a strap-on prosthetic and explicit discussions between siblings about “vagina slime.” Another title, This Book is Gay, offers instructions on using dating apps and organizing sex parties.

Further complicating matters, some of these books include QR codes linking to external websites that sell products like chest binders and underwear packers. Parents have raised alarm over these links, questioning how such content made its way into a school environment.

A QR link found in books available in the TAS library leads students to a site featuring prothetic penises for sale.


“This content doesn’t belong in any educational setting,” one parent remarked. “It’s deeply troubling to think this material is being offered to our children without oversight or consultation.”

The controversy at Taipei American School comes as Taiwan increasingly mirrors trends in Western gender identity ideology. Concepts, particularly those centered on gender and identity politics, are beginning to permeate educational and cultural institutions, often without wider public discussions or approval.
