Who vets these materials?
Why aren’t they being charged with laws involving such
materials and minor children?
At a certain age, adults should have access to these
materials, but it sure isn’t a must for our school systems.

I say suck it up, snow flake. I had to read the Dairy of Anne Frank in elementary school where she writes about her sexual feelings and m*st*rb*tion.

Why are parents having to dig these out one by one to present
to school boards who find them so repugnant they won’t let
parents read them out loud at board meetings?
If adults can’t hear those words in public, why should kids
be reading them at all?

I am old enough to remember when Temecula was all horse ranches & farms & rural properties Me,too. When we drove though Temecula in 1969, it was a cluster of gas stations--and nothing else.

What a bad mother she is...wanting her daughter to remain chaste and not give in to the joys of being groomed for being used and abused

“Human Resources is involved and is in the middle of investigating this matter.”
HR??? What the heck for? It should be in the principal’s hands and the school board providing oversight. The wokesters in HR won’t find anything wrong.

Never heard of that playwright. When I was 15, I was assigned Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevskii, Animal Farm by George Orwell, The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, and other classics. However, in those days, Dr. Max Rafferty was our Superintendent of Public Instruction, and California had the best K-12 schools in the world.

the drama describes sexual activity, sexual violence and uses profanity and was inappropriate for minors, according to a video of the meeting. She added that the play also depicts unprotected sex and the taking of pills that cause hallucinations. Her daughter’s class also includes freshmen... Actually sounds kind of tame. When I was a teenager, books that I read on my own outside of class assignments included Cornelius Ryan's The Last Battle (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1966) which features plenty of gun violence and Total Terror: An Expose of Genocide in the Baltics by Albert Kalme (New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1951), which describes mass murder and torture in graphic detail.

I had to read ‘The Scarlet Letter,’ and the ‘Canterbury Tales.’ So, I guess sexual content was hidden in wording better back then.

Angels in America is quite different. Its sort of a screed against ‘homophobia’ and religion. Sort of because the story is a bit incoherent. Its about AIDs infected gay people and weird creepy angels who dance around and sing about sex and their genitals or something. Dunno it was written like some bizarre fever dream with little if any plot but the gay aids infected part made it hip apparently.
There is also your obligatory evil closeted gay conservative token character. And good gay protagonists that ironically are a nogo for today’s world because they’re written in the 90s stereotypical way.
