A teenage girl slammed the Wake County Public School System during a board meeting on Tuesday and announced her departure from the school district after she was forced to read graphic sexual material in her English class.
During a Tuesday Wake County Board of Education meeting, a 10th-grade student recounted her move to North Carolina just three months ago. She enrolled in Athens Drive Magnet High School and told the board that she was very excited about the opportunity, until last Friday when her teacher assigned the class to read a story independently.
“There was a part in this story that made me feel very uncomfortable, and I looked around and saw the same expression on other students’ faces,” she said, reading the story aloud.
The story centered around two cousins and used vulgar language depicting sexual acts. The excerpt appears to be from “Tomorrow is too far” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The 15-year-old girl read the description to the Board:

The class then came back together to discuss the reading and answer questions. The student said during her public testimony that she went home that day and told her parents, who were “as outraged as I was,” she said.
“I should not have graphic, incestual, sexual content taught to me in my classes,” she stated. “I am deeply bothered and deeply disappointed. I have decided to leave Athens Drive High School because I should not have to deal with pornographic, incestual, sexual conduct taught to me in my classes.”
There will be no accountability for the sexual pervert who chose to become a teacher in order to become stimulated by pushing the sexual perversion onto young teens.
Some peole jus need…..
Yuck. I thought “Thistlefoot” was bad. Spring Mills High, Berkeley County, 10th grade English, Spring 2024.
The Hope scholarship is taking off like wildfire here.
Dunno about other states, but in Virginia kids can sit for their GED at 16. Somehow we were never informed of this. Costs $200, prolly gone up since last I checked.
The school is ‘shocked’. They thought this student was going to keep the reading assignments a secret from her parents, the same way most the other students have done, are now doing.
Good for her on putting them in her rearview mirror.
Homeschool or GED.
Toys in the Attic...
The parents should sue the school board, the school and the teacher for sexual harassment.
I remember Dobie Gilles show would not allow a
pregnant girl to be shown because it would infer that she had sex.
I don’t think Americans could ever become quite that prim, proper and naive again. We know too much and it’s so easy to find out more. Woody Allen’s book would not need to be written today. “Everything you ever wondered about Sex, but were afraid to ask!” It was an international best seller!
“Tomorrow Is Too Far” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Why is it always a foreign born a**hole “writer” or “teacher” or “judge” causing the problems?
That would be an entirely correct inference.
Our pastor said that after Assyria conquered northern Judea (Samaria) they made foreigners emmigrate to the area in order to dilute the Jewish morals and culture. That is why the area was so hated by the Jews of the south.
The leftist leaders of America are following that handbook.

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.
Ah yes, one of the great classical authors of English Literature.
“I don’t think Americans could ever become quite that prim, proper and naive again.”
You’re wrong. All it takes is turning to righteousness. This is a viable option for the human mind.
(by the way, “naive” is a term and an irrelevant concept here)
