Summary

When the public high school in Westerly, Rhode Island, made available to students two books with pornographic content, the Rev. Giacomo Capoverdi sprang into action with more than a dozen other clergy. The books—“Gender Queer” and “Fun Home”—are not appropriate for high school students, according to a letter 14 clergy wrote to The Westerly Sun. Despite facing a backlash from school officials and the LGBT movement, Capoverdi isn’t backing down. He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain why he’s using his leadership position as a Catholic priest at Immaculate Conception Church in Westerly to speak out and take action.
