[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am all for cultural exploration but what exactly is there to explore in "Lawn Boy" by Paulsen? It's listed as 12+. Have you read the book? I am a 40 year old woman and I was disgusted by the so-called language in this "young adult" novel. I don't want my 12 year old to read this, let alone have access to this "literature". It doesn't belong in school libraries.[/quote] What issue do you have with the language in Paulsen's Lawn Boy? It is an incredibly-innocent book, geared towards 8-12-year-olds, about mowing lawns and setting up a business. I don't recall there being any foul language or explicit content whatsoever in Paulsen's Lawn Boy. If you aren't okay with your 12-year-old readreading that book, what are you comfortable with them reading? [/quote] You are talking about the wrong book.[/quote] Jonathan Evison is the controversial book titled “Lawn Boy.” Here are some explicit excerpts from the book put in school libraries for 13 year-olds (note: material may not be suitable for DCUM members under age 13): [youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Xm4AX25tE&feature=youtu.be[/youtube] [/quote] Was this the actress that Youngkin used for his ad?
