NBC News is celebrating an Illinois teacher who the network claims had her free speech violated and who they say is no less than American hero.
But what she did to get censured makes her anything but a hero.
Here is NBC’s celebration:

As NBC reports
Sarah Bonner has been an Illinois middle school teacher for 20 years, and she has always tried to offer her students a diverse collection of books.
This year, a parent called the police over her book choice.
“I wanted to give them a smattering of fiction and nonfiction to choose from on a day that we call “Reading Monday,’” Bonner, 42, told TODAY.com. “We just read and celebrate books.”
One of those books was Juno Dawson’s “This Book is Gay.” It’s a bestselling nonfiction book that’s billed by its publisher as an entertaining and informative “instruction manual” for anyone coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans.
If things were as simple as NBC said, this all might seem like a bad deal for the teacher.
But it isn’t.
The book, entitled This Book is Gay, that this woman was pushing on kids is a radical gay book that teaches them how to engage in gay sex.
@NBCOUT perhaps we should add community notes here to this story: Because when you look at what is actually in that book this story takes on a completely different tone and the parents seem pretty reasonable. pic.twitter.com/GFHdFafd3m

The book also shows kids how to use Grindr for gay hook up sex. This “teacher” is no less than trying to force her kids into the gay lifestyle.
This is what NBC is celebrating.
