To be frank I don't even remember.....it wasn't about whether or not I thought it was a book that should be recommended/mandated to be read, it was more about whether or not I thought she was prepared for handling the message of the book.
You know...they are kids and sometimes they don't all assimilate things the same way emotionally/mentally. It was my choice as a parent, and I don't see any real mental/physical scars she has borne from not being able to read it. |

Thats truly the bigger story and issue. I only used the COP thing as a headline grabber.
The cop was only following orders. The story mentions that its not even normal for a cop to be at the meetings and he was never replaced after they left. The school board obviously knew something was going to go down.

A sizable chunk of the students I teach at the college level aren't prepared to handle the message of most texts I assign them, and it's not like I'm dishing out Gravity's Rainbow, either.

With that said, many classics are racier than people want to give them credit for. For example, you will not encounter a filthier piece of popularly-taught literature than The Canterbury Tales.
