[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous behavior by that woman.  Stop talking when your time is up and opt your kid out if you don’t want them to read a book.  FCPS makes that very easy.  What is this, Alabama?[/quote]

Her time was not up.  She was told to stop because there were children in the room.  But, it is okay to have in a high school library  The language offended me but she was making a valid point.  Board member, should have asked her to stop and thanked her for bringing it to their attention.  Instead, she became angry.  It was extremely offensive--but, how else do you get the attention of this School Board?[/quote]

Yes, somethings are appropriate for 16 year olds and not 7 year olds. Apparently that’s a novel concept [/quote]

That book is not appropriate for 16 year olds. Does Robinson Secondary School have a separate library for the middle school?  And, by the way, lots of high school students are well under 16.

That book is porn.[/quote]

Her post on the Robinson parents Facebook page said it was assigned reading for one of the IB English classes for 11th graders. The moderators have deleted it so I didn’t catch whether the kids had a choice or not. But the majority of the parents responding said it wasn’t porn, just sexually explicit, and the most vocal were generally okay with it “because kids are reading that type of stuff in 2021 anyway so no big deal”.

I’m trying not to overreact and start researching Catholic high schools because of one book but it’s hard not to get upset.
