If this is true, this has got to be a completely isolated incident. It's very simple, folks, if these books are available in public school libraries, then it's the responsibility of the parents to prevent their kids from reading this garbage. If teachers assign this reading to students, again, it's up to the parents to intervene and to overrule the teachers. I would have no problem doing it...what are they going to do about it?

Good point. I do have to say, that it is not in our public school library, nor do I think that it will ever be. I have never heard of the book and hopefully will never see it. If I do, there will be a big book burning ceremony:).

Agreed.The first line of defense against this and other garbage being forced onto our kids is the strength of the family unit.Parents have to be proactive and absolutely insist that they,and they alone,reserve moral and spiritual license where their kids are concerned. If parents are lax and complacent in asserting their rights as to what their kids can & cannot be exposed to,this stuff will gain an ever stronger foothold and become the rule of the day.(God forbid,the whole country will become Massafornia!)
Some family ethics are timeless,and should remain so.
