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—

[Scarlett156]

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.

[Mashood]

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?

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

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.

[MomwithHope]

Thanks for posting this follow up feel good story.

[Chickensoup]

Poor judgment reading a vulnerable little book to students.

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

“I’m tired. I’m stressed. I’m overwhelmed,” he said. “I need to work.”

He forgot “I’m stupid”

[slumber1]

“I expected a write up,” said Mr. Price, who had worked for the district for three years. “I did not expect to get terminated. I cried the entire way home.”

So he chose a book he knew would be "controversial" at best and expected to be called on it. Not surprising that this leftist so boy cried all the way home.

[Levy78]

Such a punchable face.

[AndyJackson]

Poor taste used to be regarded as an offense against society.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Perhaps he should have read them something from the old Classics of Literature, such as Gargantua/Chapter XIII.

[Bikkuri]

When I was in elementary school, just mentioning ‘butt’ would earn us a backhand across the face.

Nowadays, they can pretty much say anything they want (on TV, at home, or in school).

The problem was it was Mississippi. In some more enlightened locations, it is fine to read to 2nd graders a nice sweet story about how a boy needs a second hole in his behind.
