No, we can't waste the time necessary to teach them cursive, or to love their country, but we can teach M101. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

People who think it is too expensive should think again. Work evenings if you need to, homeschool during the day. You will save a TON on therapy for your screwed up kids, but that, of course is secondary. Main thing is to protect your kids. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

That is outrageous, yes it's understandable that we are all curious at one point or the other but I believe that is a talk for a parent to give. I don't understand why they fund this sort of crap. Why aren't they filling their brains with wonderful education about science or just regular literature you read in 6th grade.... When the going gets meow, the meow meow meowin |

They make it so the child becomes of age sooner. The other team seems to think enough is enough, and your days are numbered. |

So they are "engaging" them with the subject matter in this book - so they can teach them "tolerance" later in the year, before "Winter Break" (Christmas vacation).

HOWEVER that being said, I find it appalling that ALL kids of a certain age group are going to be exposed to this stuff, where many of them would not be ready to confront it....... so just what in the HELL are these people thinking? I do think, though, that masturbation should be encouraged, to some extent, if for no other reason than that it MAY just help cut down on teen pregnancies!!! also, ALL teens should learn how to put a condom on.....both boys and girls.....in case they 'just can't wait'. and more ladies in general should learn how to give HEAD........you don't have to swallow if the guy's wearing a condom!!! And just think of all the unwanted babies you'd be avoiding!! Yep, America, we have a LONG way to go before this stuff is rationally discussed and explored.... |

To the contrary, kids as young as ten have sent me autobiographical letters written in crayon, complete with drawings inspired by my book, that are just as dark, terrifying, and redemptive as anything I’ve ever read." - statement from the novel's author. |
