This is a problem nation wide. In the town I live in a popular CHRISTIAN school also assigns books with smut and foul language. When my neice and her parents voiced their complaints they were brushed off.

What bothers me is the hypocrisy. Say, for instance, a total stranger were to approach the kids of this school and start describing sexual feelings or encounters to them. You had best believe that the school officials would have that fellow arrested without thinking twice. However, they feel that they are "educating" children by doing precisely the same thing!...Oh, yes, I forgot; many public-school teachers consider their classrooms to be target-rich environments for their sex lives. I guess what they would find offensive is the competition. Word to the concerned parent: giving sexually explicit material to an underaged person is considered "immoral conduct" in almost all of the fifty states.--Mrs. Pilgrim

I think that this problem is much more common and pervasive than people realize. A local KC school board refused to change education policy on reading material when presented with a petition signed by over 500 parents. I'm listing a website that has a wealth of information, and helpful facts/links for parents wanting to find appropriate alternative reading material and to help them prevent this from happening to their child. http://classkc.org/index.html
Good luck in the battle!

Parents are ultimately responsible for their children, not for the choices of the school board or a curriculum committee. It would appear that the school officials in charge do not view things the same way as the parents. If I were a parent there, I would thank the school board for helping me realize what a poor choice I had made by placing my confidence in them and helping me decide to homeschool my children. Then I would contact HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association) and find out how to get started in homeschooling if I didn't already know a homeschool family to help me get started. And I would do this ASAP rather than trying to redeem this situation. The school officals have already demonstrated a hard heart to the situation. Homeschooling our own since they were little has been one of the most precious ways we have been drawn to care for our children who are now 16 and 18. You can easily teach your own better than a "certified, professional educator."

Is the author, Matt Barber, the man who was fired by Allstate Insurance for his comments against the homosexual agenda written while off duty, and from his own home?
They are trying to take over our children's minds any which way they can. They are stealing the authority and taking power over them. The NEA's evil goings-on written about in the following article goes hand in hand with the Smut article:

The district's website gives their mission statement as this: Our mission is to graduate responsible and self-confident students who are prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond through a personalized education which provides a sound academic foundation and promotes the student's social, emotional and physical development in a safe, supportive environment.
Their motto is "Where Children Are First"
Superintendent Robert Berger's email address is bberger@dist126.org. Assistant Superintendent/Director of Curriculum and Technology Jan Mulqueeny's email is jmulqueeny@dist126.org.
I'm certain that if I were to use such foul language in conversation with one or the other, my educational status would be questioned, as well as my suitability for interaction with any of their students. I'm also certain that if any of their students were to use such language in a paper or oral report, the instructor would give whatever reprimand was in his/her arsenal.
How does foul language and smutty overtoned literature help a child to grow wise, make better decisions, elevate him/herself to a higher level? Yes, they hear it every day. Does that make it the best they can be? No, it lowers them to the lowest common denominator. If the school system's goal is to bring out the best in each child, then it should use literature that demands from the child: demands that child's concentration, higher emotion, critical thinking, and spurs the child to learn more. It shouldn't just reinforce the degradation of the society in which the child lives.
Email the two, and see if there's any response! Perhaps if they're flooded with national notoriety, they'll back down!

When are we going to wise up and STOP referring to this type of perverted material by using such respectful words as "MATURE" and "ADULT"!
To call this material "ADULT" and "MATURE" is to play right into their hands by using their terminology for this GARBAGE!
It completely waters down your offensive tactics by whitewashing the terminology to suit their hardened hearts and ears.
ABORTION is STILL M-U-R-D-E-R
HOMOSEXUALITY, ADULTERY, and FORNICATION
are ALL SEXUAL S-I-N-S!

As a former teacher of middle school students, I can't imagine any teacher assigning this mind garbage to any student. As an adult, I would never read that kind of moral trash myself. Where are the adults in that school system?
