[quote=Anonymous]I’m the furthest thing from a prude or a book banner. I’m a former high school English teacher and am now a therapist. I’m also the parent of a socially immature boy with ADHD, very little filter and poor reasoning skills, and I see plenty of other boys who are similar. They don’t need the challenge of reading and discussing borderline explicit material in school. If you think Romeo and Juliet is as explicit as it gets, you are mistaken. I think the warnings are great. I like having the chance to prepare my son for challenging content. I’m not sure every parent has the time or ability to do that, though. I’m also not sure every English teacher has the skills to moderate discussions about sensitive topics. There is no SOL standard that requires the reading of books with sexual content, and there is an entire world of literature that educates and broadens the mind without presenting our kids with content they might not be ready for.
