[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year my reluctant reader, who is a boy, was given the book Last Night at the Telegraph Club. He had no interest in reading a novel about a girl who realizes she is a lesbian. The teacher purposely stuck it to him even though that was his last choice of books, among other choices she offered to the class. She pushed her agenda.[/quote]

You sound close minded.  Reading by nature involves learning about an experience that isn't identical to our own.  That you consider this pushing an agenda makes you sound bigoted. [/quote]

+1  Yes, boys should only read books about boys, girls about girls, Christians should only read Christian themed books.  That's what the school curriculum should mandate.   :roll: [/quote]

You are entirely missing the point. [/quote]

Do tell us what the point is.  That you would accuse a teacher of "pushing her agenda" because she had the class read a novel about a girl who is a lesbian and your son didn't want to read it because he's a boy is really offensive.[/quote]

You realize this age is a difficult age and kids don't want to pubically talk about these things and in MCPS they feel they need to fit in, including changing your pronouns as teachers are pushing it.[/quote]
