In 4th grade I was reading books on great Americans. Well remember reading about George Washington Carver. Didn’t think much about him being black. Wasn’t a big deal then.
“I’m tired. I’m stressed. I’m overwhelmed,” he said. “I need to work.”
Then get a *real* job, ya doink.
This isn't the "Beavis & Butthead" show for 2nd grader's ... they'll learn and laugh about "farts" and "butts" and all the other adolescent biological "funnies" when they turn 13, in the 7th grade when their hormones start raging.
What in heck is wrong with these 'educators' nowadays?? Why can't they just let the children be children to enjoy their fleeting childhood for a few years before they hit adolescence, and then adulthood, only to find out how shitty perverts like this 'educator' treated them when they were young ... ruining their childhood ...
Mostly they are books about kids from 5-9 years and what they think and say.
I went to Amazon and was thinking about buying this 32 page kids book, but is was sold out.
I know nothing about the teacher but getting fired because of the title of a "See Spot Run" book, and not a single reference as to the content of the book except for a kid with a "crack in his butt" seems a little harsh.
The wokesters are bad, but the holyrollers can be just as bad in reverse.
“I’m tired. I’m stressed. I’m overwhelmed,” he said. “I need to work.”
Step into this alleyway, I’d like to talk to you for a moment.
He should have just read them a book about a boy who wants to cut off his penis. I’m sure that would have been just fine with his educator peers.
Sad. The knee jerk reaction brigade, based on the headline, must assume this book is some sexuality tinged story. It’s not. It’s on a par with jokes about boogers, belches, farts and similar silliness. In an age before schools destroyed our children’s innocence we’d understand this was a crude book not one needing this overreaction. Hope you all enjoy being part of the cancel crowd.
But “mama I want a vagina” is okay I suppose
“I Need a New Butt!
Who hasn’t felt like that after an ass chewing by a senior commander or NCO?
He should have read a book about experimenting with a partner’s butt and all would’ve been well these days.
There must be hundreds of classic books that 2nd graders would enjoy while being edified in character. It was an abuse of responsibility to pick one from the bottom of the barrel; a book that pokes fun at human anatomy in its grosser parts. It is as if educators are intent on being children themselves and making everything “fun” so that they can receive accolades. Teachers should take teaching seriously, and allow “fun” to be meted and measured, not the whole object of life.
More dumb crap from leftist academia.
“I Need a New Butt!,” which was published in 2012, is marketed to children ages 4 to 8 and tells the story of a young boy who sets off to find a new behind after he sees a “crack” in his and fears it’s broken.
Mr. Price said that it was particularly critical to teach literacy at his school, where many children rely on free lunches or reduced-price meals.
These were the books read by many and influenced many generations that followed:

take a few moments and read one or point a young man there.
Ms. Martin and the five-member school board did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment on Friday. But Mr. Price’s termination brought swift criticism from children’s authors and PEN America, a free speech organization that fights bans against books.
I think it's only fair they name that administrator.
How many of the pious in this thread have even read the book???
It’s a silly funny book geared to a seven or right year-old sense of humor.
And people wonder why I have such a low opinion of the modern educrat!
He couldn’t find a copy of “My Two Mommies” ???
Or maybe get them to learn to recite from the communist manifesto?
He would have gotten a promotion
