HUDSON, Ohio — A book intended to prepare Hudson High School students for college now has parents in an uproar.
They said the contents of the book are inappropriate for their children and now, they’re demanding reform and transparency from the school board.
“Write a sex scene you wouldn't show your mom. Rewrite the sex scene from above into one that you let your mom read. Describe your favorite part of a man's body using only verbs,” said parent Monica Haven.
Those are some of the writing prompts found inside the book, '642 Things to Write About.'
Until Monday, that book was being used by students in Hudson’s high school senior College Credit Plus writing class.
“Do not sexualize our kids! The raw filth that snuck past the gatekeeping functions of this board of ed. in '642 Reasons' was disgusting,” said parent Morris Norman.
At a school board meeting Monday, Principal Brian Wilch apologized for the book’s use in the classroom,
“We did not exercise due diligence when we reviewed this resource. And as a result, we overlooked several writing prompts among the 642 that are not appropriate for our high school audience,” said Wilch.
But that didn’t stop parents from grilling the board about how it slipped by the eyes of educators and administrators for years.
“The students were told not to take the book home. Why? So their parents couldn't see it,” said Norman.
“A parent found that book in their child's backpack,” said Amanda Kocher, vice-chair of Moms for Liberty Summit County, a group dedicated to advocating for parents’ rights at all levels of government.

Sounds like some public flogging are in order. Bunch of pervs.
*floggings
Perverts will never stop infiltrating crap for our kids. Parents have to be vigilant.
Back in the day Hudson was a wealthy & conservative suburb.
There was no “oops” about this. It was 100% deliberate, with the plan to claim ignorance after the fact. This is the standard game plan with liberals.
I think it still is.
It’s still wealthy, but has been infiltrated with liberal millennials. Sad to see a once, Norman Rockwell, kind of community go to the dark side.
How can they be vigilante when they are told not to take it home though?
Describe your favorite part of a man’s body using only verbs,
= = =
I guess I usually describe using adjectives, adverbs mostly.
So say my favorite part is the man’s wallet.
But trying to use verbs - - -
spend, give, empty, surrender ?????
I do not get it. What am I missing?
In response, I have entertained, as a response, listing every collected writing prompt from my journals.
If I were to “go the book route”, if published, it would be just one more book in the writers’ section.
But, were I to make it a freeper article, it would be there for anyone to read, access, copy, or print for themselves or for their childrens’ cteative minds, without redacting a single one.
What say ye?
Parents need to pay close attention to their kids and talk to them about their school work. Quizzing them about there classroom experiences, daily, is part of that attention.
I have an 8th grader and a sophomore in high school - we spend every evening going over their school work and discussing that day’s events.
If a teacher discusses something we consider questionable - or some material catches our interest, we start with an e-mail inquiry with that teacher and go from there.
That’s what I mean by vigilance.
In their defense, it is meant to prepare for college. /sarc
Evil never rests.
ok
I’m very fond of my pancreas but I can’t think of any verbs offhand. Excrete?
Grooming children is illegal.
Perversion 101 will soon be required and for that I’m sure this book is appropriate
BOY, I am very glad I graduated HS in 1957.
“Somebody” Had to have present the book. That person needs to be fired.
