An assistant principal of a Mississippi elementary school says that he was fired after choosing to read a book about butts to a group of second graders.
Gary Road Elementary School in Byram chose to lay off Toby Price without a warning after he read Dawn McMillan's book, 'I Need a New Butt,' to seven-and eight-year-old students last week, WJTV reported.
Price confirmed he was given the boot in a Facebook post from March 7, sharing that he had been fired 'for reading an awesome book to kids'. He also created a GoFundMe page, in which he shares that 'I Need a New Butt' is a 'funny silly book' and 'a book that kids love'.
'I am just looking for some help to pay bills while I look for another job,' he further wrote. 'I have two kids with autism and another BPD. Thank you for helping. We have found an attorney and need help with the fee.'
He also told WLBT that he offered to read to students on zoom after an expected guest reader was a no-show.
'My boss told me "Go ahead and read,"' he said. 'I grabbed one of my favorite books that I had nearby, I read it to them.'
'I didn't think twice about reading it because I've never had an issue with it before,' Price added. 'There are other books that have much more suggestive material that are much more widely accepted.'
However, Hinds School District, of which Gary Road Elementary is a part of, took a dig at Price in his termination letter for causing 'unnecessary embarrassment' and blamed his 'lack of professionalism and impaired judgement,' according to WJTV.

I read the reviews on amazon on that book. If anything he should have used better judgement.
BTW a lot of people chose to adopt special needs or otherwise troubled kids just to molest them. If they are nonverbal, they can’t tell. If they are “troubled” then lawyers will say “they are troubled you can’t believe them”
No, the school is the moron for hiring him and keeping him.
A book for elementary students encouraging trans. Unbelievable stuff. This guy may have been abusing students as well as adopted kids. Maybe part of the reason he was fired. Should be arrested, but they usually prefer to go after female teachers for involvement with teen boys.
Wow! A Toy Yoda.
What the heck is BPD?
Exactly
The only type of adult that would choose to read a book like that to a class of second graders is a pedophile.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Exactly. This is either really funny or really, really bad.
Based on the scant information, we have no idea.

Seems to be a legit kid’s book and not some adult or even teen humor thing, but you have to know better than that.
I wondered if it was like the “Captain Underpants” books.
Did you read the 1 and 2 star reviews?
“’I Need a New Butt’ about a boy who notices a crack in his bottom and sets out to find a new one”
Well, at least, they’re not encouraging little boys to get a boob job
It’s been done;
Many years ago, my parents had a business, a welding shop.
We started getting crank calls from a kid wanting to know how much it would cost to weld the crack in his butt. One day he called, and once again asked “ how much will it cost to weld the crack in my butt?”
The foreman, who had answered the phone, told him “I don’t know, but bring it on in and I’ll give you an estimate.”
No more crank calls after that.
Seems to me that a book about butt cracks would have indeed been hilarious and popular to the typical 7-8 year old boy.
I like what you posted.
“I didn’t think twice about reading it ... There are other books out there that have much more suggestive material that are much more widely accepted.”
That enough ‘research’ for ya Ruck ?
