I believe they were previously on lists recommended for children.

A couple weeks ago, the National Education Association (NEA) included the (porno)graphic novel, Gender Queer, on its summer reading list for educators.

Looks like it’s a misinterpretation of the intention of the list. The union has simply added an explanatory note because people were jumping to the conclusion that they were recommending books for children and not teachers.

I’m all for calling out shit like putting “Genderqueer” in school libraries, but I think this particular article is misreporting this list as being intended for children when it never was, either wilfully or by mistake.

I’m sure the book has appeared on lists for children, I’m not disputing that, it just doesn’t look like this list was ever for children.
