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?

I’ll read the book before I comment. Humor can be useful in teaching.
Prolly some Lincoln Project hpjerks trying to brand Republicans again.

There are tons like this. Captain Underpants, Dog Man and Bad Guys are some of them. When my grandkids brought them home I was a little shocked. They are full of potty and gross humor that elementary age kids usually engage in when parents are not around. They are written in a comic like format. Boys particularly enjoy them. It got the grandkids to start reading. Until they started reading these, they had little interest. We just made sure they knew this was not acceptable public behavior. They eventually outgrew that stage and moved on to more acceptable reading material.

I heard of a Captain Underpants series of children's books before I heard about this book in the article.
