Students in one class at South Windsor High School were subjected to a poem that their superintendent and some parents call highly inappropriate material. The poem contains language that describes sexual acts.
The teacher, whose name has not been released, read the Allen Ginsberg poem Please Master aloud in an English class for high school students. That poem was written in 1968. He had another poem banned in the 1950s for obscenity. Parents were shocked when they heard and read the material for themselves.
I dont understand how that actually got into a high school class, said one parent who wanted to remain anonymous. I can understand parents being really upset about it . . .
Two excerpts from the poem include the lines: please master can I gently take down your shorts, and please master can I have your thighs bare to my eyes .

I’d like to add an addendum to your post.
God has already won. The devil’s time is short, and the only question is how many he’ll drag with him into destruction.
I say "admittedly" because there are at least a dozen places where he talks/writes openly about it. I don't have the time to look them all up, but there's this:
Deliberate Prose: Selected Essays 1952-1995, Perennial, New York, 2001),p. 168: "Prepubescent boys and girls don't have to be protected from big hairy you and me, they'll get used to our lovemaking in 2 days provided the controlling adults will stop making those hysterical NOISES that make everything sexy sound like rape."
He's never been prosecuted because he's a Creative Genius don'cha know. Creative Geniuses are allowed to do whatever they want.
Yes! ;)
