Well, perhaps as Whoopee Cushion Golberg says, “ It wasn’t rape rape. “

Apple, tree.

It was Judy Blume who first set the style for putting perverted children’s literature into our public schools.

Who’s Judy Blume?

Author of coming-of-age teen books in the early 1970s.
At the time, her material was very controversial and was banned in some school libraries.

Exceptions must be made for those from Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, of course, where both surnames are used and have been since surnames were introduced.

And, unfortunately, strongly endorsed by many teachers.

How do they deal with the Mr. Smith-Jones marrying Miss Brown-White?

That type usually believes in "choice" instead of children, if you catch my drift.

Cheers!

Judy Blume is an American author. She has written many novels for children and young adults which have exceeded sales of 80 million and been translated into 31 languages.

Blume's novels for teenagers were among the first to tackle such controversial matters as racism (Iggie's House), menstruation (Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.), divorce (It's Not the End of the World, Just As Long As We're Together), bullying (Blubber), masturbation (Deenie; Then Again, Maybe I Won't) and teen sex (Forever), and as such have been the source of controversy over the appropriateness of such topics for her middle school audience.

She is married with two children and a stepchild.

Why only $5k bond? Wasn’t it rape-rape? Just goes to show you that if you bring up kids with lots of money and no moral compass..they end up like their frizzy haired Mom.

Elliot Blume-Pickle, 18-year-old grandson of beloved young adult author Judy Blume, was arrested this week for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl at his family’s Martha’s Vineyard home. Blume-Pickle recently graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon, a $45,000-a-year prep school. Naturally.

“I know Judy Blume, and she’s simply a self-absorbed twit, a conceited, insufferable, arrogant, control freak, and am not surprised her doted-upon grandson is now reaping the sins of the (grand)mother, who has super-indulged him throughout his life with privilege and the sense of entitlement she has long believed she is due. While this tragic situation will play itself out in court, I’m frankly not surprised the curtain is being pulled back to reveal the shallow, callow, life she actually has created and her family is now paying. Tough, baby. Karma.”

She is the lady whose grandson, Elliot Blume, is in a pickle.
