Education New Jersey School District Yanks Lesbian Sex Book From Required Summer Reading List By Todd Starnes Published August 23, 2011
A New Jersey school district has apologized to parents after requiring high school students to read books that include graphic depictions of lesbian sex and a homosexual orgy.
“Some of the language is inappropriate,” said Chuck Earling, superintendent of Monroe Township Schools in Williamstown, N.J. “We were not trying to create controversy. We were just trying to get students to read.”
The books were on a required summer reading list for middle school and high school students. The district decided to pull the book off the list, with the start of school just days away.
“There were some words and language that seemed to be inappropriate as far as the parents and some of the kids were concerned,” Earling said.
One book, “Norwegian Wood,” was on a list for incoming sophomores in an honors English class. The book includes a graphic depiction of a lesbian sex scene between a 31-year-old woman and a 13-year old girl, according to a report first published in the Gloucester County Times.
“I don’t think that’s relevant for any teenager,” parent Robin Myers told the newspaper. Her daughter was assigned to read the book. “I was just kind of in shock,” she said.
The other book in question was “Tweak (Growing up on Methamphetamines).” That book included depictions of drug usage and a homosexual orgy.
“That has created a controversy,” Earling told Fox News Radio, referring to the drug usage – along with the lesbian and gay sex scenes. “We’ve pulled them from our summer reading list.”
Peter Sprigg, with the Family Research Council, said he’s not surprised by the controversy surrounding the books.
“Here we see the intersection of parental values being offended, the hyper-sexualization of our youth and the homosexual agenda being pushed,” Sprigg told Fox News Radio. “This just illustrates why a lot of American parents are not willing to entrust their children to the public schools anymore.”
So whose idea was it to put books featuring explicit sex scenes on a summer reading list for teenagers?
Earling said the school district’s summer reading list was prepared by a committee made up of teachers, librarians and school administrators. The board of education ultimately approved the list. ..............................>>>>............................>>>>...........................Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011.....ading/#ixzz1VsvRUekr
Great let's ban this book, and while we are at it ban all books that contain violence too. I mean what's really more offensive 2 hot ladies getting down or genocide ? Just sayin, I think are priorities are pretty backwards here
It would have been more advantageous for the school to have parental approval first. The 'system' does not have the right to mold 'our' children into what the 'system' wants...........including violence.

Well, I guess I agree Bumble, but I never see articles relating to parents complaining about violence. It always seems to be sex. i think overall as a country we seem to hae some weird negative issues with sex, but we are willing to accept violence in all facets of media with barely a peep. Exposing our kids to sex to me seems way less harmfull then violence, especially when the main argument against exposing them to sex is that they may re enact it? Apparently exposing them to violence doesn't have the same effect?

Ahhh relativism! Wins all arguments with minds that are intellectually still at adolescence. Teenaged boys make arguments that include "2 hot ladies getting down" too. We appreciate the comic relief, now go back to Ridgemont High.

Thanks for admitting that your mind cannot argue with my point. Self realization is a good thing, and yes I enjoy watching two hot ladies getting down, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it, see you at Ridgemont
you know what's worse is that the kids have their head the seed that "you couldn't procreate or get married without the public school system"
just implicating to another humanbeing (kid this time) that they couldn't perform life at such a basic level is dehumanizing and rocks the logic of what exists....the realization of self is the most basic need of a human and they seed them 'stupid' by the mere attendance and pigeon holing, cattle herding public schools....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
