Woooo....that would mean the students can read. Hmmm....

[Zeppo]

From the description in the article, the book that the teacher gave to the student(s) is The Sisters of APF by Zane. A quick look at the Amazon review indicates that the book has nothing to do with algebra.

a feemale teacfher giving a bok about sorority sex to a bunch of female students? Maybe she's looking for a wife.

Wow, what is it with Algebra teachers? We had one in HS that... ;-)

"It was brought to our attention by a parent of one of the students in her class that she had apparently loaned a book, an inappropriate book -- sexually explicit - to one of the students in her class and it was being passed around among a little group of students."

What isn't being mentioned is the sex of these students. Betting they are all female.

From Amazon: "APF stands for Alpha Phi Fuckem, a sorority dedicated to sexual freedom and the fulfillment of its members."

Cute.

From the Fort Bend ISD website:

Hello, this is Sylvia Fulton. She was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She graduated from A. N. McCallum High School in 1986. She continued her education in Texas at Lamar Universary and Southwest Texas State Universary where she received her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1992.

She helped open Thurgood Marshall High School where she has taught Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 in which she is teaching currently. She can be found in room W102.

Mrs. Fulton is a member of Texas Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Texas Association of Black School Education, and AVID teacher.

I am incensed by the close-minded judgementalism of these parents. Their misguided efforts at protecting their children from the realities of society will surely backfire when their teenagers grow up to be sexually maladjusted. </sarcasm>

I was loaned the “Tropic of Cancer” and “Studs Lonigan” by a high school teacher.
I stayed in the US Army for over twenty years and usually vote Republican (never voted Democrat).
I guess that’s why I ended up so corrupted and vile - all because of dirty books.

[2Jedismom]

I'm not sure what an AVID teacher is...

I am reminded of a cartoon (by Sidney Harris?) of a professor writing a book, clumsily weaving the scientific concepts into a purple-prose bodice-ripper sex scene.
