And again I remark on the irony of this happening in Hinds County.

It is well past time to punish these leftists.

[rellimpank]

—as it should be—

Guy reading “I need a new butt” which sounds like a dumb-funny book for kids that doesn’t have anything to do with sex: Not okay.

Drag queen story hour: Okay.

“We have a lot of reluctant readers,” he said. “I am a firm believer that reluctant readers need the silly, funny books to hook them in.”

I guess “The Cat in the Hat” is out as Dr. Seuss is now considered racist.

Can Mr. Price code?

[ronniesgal]

kids probably cracked up.

Now the left has turned against its own. As long at they keep firing their fellow leftists, I won’t care!

“My granddaughter heard him read the book and thought it was hilarious and not at all inappropriate!” the grandmother wrote.

Mr. Price said that was the reaction from students after he read the book. He recalled going into the hallway and being approached by students who thanked him for his pick.

“They loved it,” he said. “They all stopped me and said, ‘Mr. Price, that book was really good.’”

A “random” grandma and “students” approve, so what’s the big deal?

Mr. Price, 46, quickly grabbed a book — “I Need a New Butt!”

To begin with - how was this book even in the school? Who selected it? Who else has read it to their students? Are there other books like this trash available?

Who put him up to reading this book? Someone needs to get to the bottom of this...

Could be an innocently funny kid book. I woke have to read it to see. Just because it has the word “butt” in the title doesn’t mean it’s an inappropriate book.

It’s not like a drag queen dressed in lingerie read it to them.

[Samurai_Jack]

Guess he got his butt handed to him on that one!

[MomwithHope]

Thanks for posting this follow up feel good story.

[EEGator]

I see what you did there…

[drSteve78]

“You said ‘Butt’, teehee”, sez every kid.

No idea if book is appropriate, not likely something on my bookshelf.

[Scarlett156]

Haha, right? The bad part is that he was just trying to do his job. His own kids like the book. (He has autistic kids so losing his job is going to cause him a great hardship.) He wasn’t trying to be offensive or an activist. Some other guy was supposed to read that day and couldn’t so he subbed. Now he’s fired.

[flaglady47]

I see what you did there, snicker.

[Chickensoup]

Poor judgment reading a vulnerable little book to students.

Vulgar little books are to be read as jokes by kids and adults.
