Current “Harmful to Minors” Books in WASD?

Last Updated 4/11/23:

The US Constitution’s 1st Amendment does not grant minors the right to access or be exposed to materials that would meet the definition of “harmful to minors.” 


What Materials Are Harmful to Minors?

Idaho Code 18-1514 (section 6), “Materials Harmful to Minors”:
