Somehow I doubt you have copies of Penthouse just lying around “for the articles” but hey—I could be wrong. Maybe sharing erotica with your teens around the kitchen table is a thing for your family, but it isn’t really something we embrace nor is it something I want a teacher introducing my teen child to in an academic classroom.
I just think there are about a hundred other non-erotica non-explicit non-profane books that can be selected to teach the same concepts.
And this particular book can have its place on the library shelf alongside Judy Blume’s Forever and EL James’ Fifty Shades of Gray, where it can be checked out by students who are curious or passed around in whispers and giggles among peers who get a thrill out of scandalizing one another. Aa optional reading, it’s just one of “those” books that will invite gasps and wide eyes. As classroom material, it’s unnecessary. And the parts that are objectionable really do read like an x-rated dirty magazine article that any reasonable adult would find questionable for the classroom at best and wholly inappropriate at worst.
