No, this is the principal, and now you, getting the vapors over sexual topics.

The Mayor is exercised over texts used by High School *seniors* in a Creative Writing class. There are only children involved to the extent that the seniors are likely 17 years old, not 18.

My takeaways from this posting and the reactions to it: 1) don’t cite Gab as they exist only to promote outrage, and 2) don’t get up on your virtue soapbox until you’re read the full story.

“My takeaways from this posting and the reactions to it: 1) don’t cite Gab as they exist only to promote outrage, and 2) don’t get up on your virtue soapbox until you’re read the full story.”

Excerpts from your own link:

Along with other prompts about murder, drug use, and suicide, the book included tasks about describing the first time they had sex, coming up with an “X-rated Disney scenario,” writing a “sermon for a beloved preacher who has been caught in a sex scandal,” listing “ten euphemisms for sex” and writing about a “roomful of people who want to sleep together.”

During a school board meeting on Monday, Shubert said the school was distributing “essentially what is child pornography in the classroom.” Several parents had earlier complained about the content.

“I’ve spoken to a judge this evening and she’s already confirmed that. So, I’m going to give you a simple choice: either choose to resign from this board of education or you will be charged,” Shubert said.

However, parents accused the board of attempting to “sexualize our kids” and questioned how the “raw filth” had “snuck past the gatekeeping functions” of educators and board members for years. One speaker said the material amounted to “grooming,” while another parent, a police officer, called for cameras to be installed in classrooms.

“The students were told not to take the book home. Why? So their parents couldn’t see it,” said parent Morris Norman.

What the hell is wrong with you? "Come up with an X-rated Disney scenario?" Writing about a room full of people who want to have sex together?

In your mind, this is ok for a 17 year old because they are almost an 18 year old? GTFO.

Looking at your responses to Freepers since you became member, I can only ask, “Why the hell are you here?”

You seem to have a problem with accepting the fact this country has it out for true conservatism, and those who are trying to expose the left.

I think someone in control needs to look closely at your responses.

This is NOT the Democrat Underground.
