My son is in public school (I know, I know). Middle school age and Literature class has had them read 2 horrible books thus far. Agenda stories about family dysfunction, broken homes, encouraging kids to run away, underage sexual innuendo, etc. Most kids/parents stomached the first book, but the 2nd book led to a mini rebellion. Kids aren't reading it and not turning in weekly assignments.
Basically the response from kids and parents alike, was a very civil, "we don't like this book nor its subject matter." The teacher wisely responded without a fight and said moving forward, the kids can pick any book they want on a topic of interest to them instead of reading the agenda-forced libtard reading material. Most kids are picking books about their favorite sport/athlete, music, biography, etc.
Common sense seems to have prevailed in this local win.
If you please, what are the two books? I also have middle schoolers in ps.
Walk Two Moons
Themes: Adultry, divorced parents, broken homes, children running away, 12yos kissing, Grandparents giving a 12yo keys to drive. Apparently banned in several schools districts across the U.S.
Hoot
This summary pretty much sums it up. Kids drinking & smoking, sexualization in kids, woke media/product representation, domestic violence, etc
Thank you for the response I will keep an eye out.
That is the perfect age for students to choose the "Left Behind" books. That should flair up the leftists' AIDS.
we will take all the wins we get. This is a WIN
Hold the line, and keep fighting the good fight. Good job!
Of all the Classic books aailable at that reading level - Robert Louis Stevenson and Louisa May Alcott, just for starters - the school wants to waste the kids' time on trash. Good for those parents!!
