If we were talking about 8th grade, then I'd be inclined to agree a little more (although not sure if I would completely agree).

With the spread of internet access and kids knowing how to circumvent just about any type of filter, it's ridiculous that someone would make an issue out of this book.

Also, American attitudes about sex in general are very prudish and ridiculous.
This.

What is the reading of page 313 supposedly going to lead to? The entire debate is just silly.

From an educational administrative standpoint, the problem is that it's required reading. If I were to assign something of that nature, even to high school seniors, I'd send home a note letting them know that the work would have some mature content and an alternate assignment would be available for the student. This is what we have to do anytime we show R rated movies in our classes (such as V for Vendetta).

What other stuff do you put in the curriculum that the fundies get all weird about?

A lot of kids are sexually active by 9th grade (and if they have cell phones or internet access, they've already seen worse at that point).
You are completely missing the point.

They are taking the decision out of the parent's hands.

You can place safeguards on their home computer.

If your child had a friend over, would you subject them to this, without their parent's consent?

Shit.
Next time you are going to post something so vulgar, can you send a note to my house so I can decide if I want to let my innocent eyes see your post.

I would say it's probably a pretty safe bet that a notice was sent home about this book as well.

As a parent, there are a lot of decisions that are taken out of the parent's hands. Louis CK has a great bit about this and notes that in this country we get to "choose" what and when we expose our children to things. People have this unreasonable righteous indignation when it comes to exposing their "kids" to these types of things (kids is in quotes because 14-15 yr olds aren't kids).

Pretending like this book is an important decision for a parent of a 14-15 year old to decide whether to "expose" their children too is flat out ridiculous. Getting pissed about it even more so.

From the article:

Quote:
The school issued a statement that concluded the district “will take immediate action to revise these policies to include notification that requires parents to accept controversial material, rather than opt out.”
At least the school got it partially figured out, even if too many of those posting here can't.

heh, so a notice was provided and it said if you want your child to opt out then let us know.

If only that "dad" had paid attention earlier in the year.

Actually, that's not what it says at all. Take a minute and read the OP.

Great, a thread full of people telling everyone else how to parent their kids.

That's what the asshole dad that got arrested said. I'm inclined to not believe him.
