Judy Blume is the author who singlehandedly trashed children's books with her essays into pornography. Then we started getting all the other trashy childrens books that have been corrupting young minds since then, such as "Heather Has Two Mommies."
This School Superintendent is right. Judy Blume doesn't belong in school libraries.
Judy Blume? I used to love those Fudge books in gradeschool!
Why is it so bad for teenagers to read about the emotional implications of sex? It isn't going to be forever when you're 16.
I agree. But not because her books are pornographic. Because they are bad literature. They are trashy in more ways than one. Don't waste money or shelf space on them.
So, the Blume is off the rows?
Bill Clinton read Judy Blume when in high school? No wonder!
