UPDATE: Dad arrested at school board meeting…
VIDEO…
GILFORD, N.H. – William Baer has encountered some eyebrow-raising policies
and practices during his children’s years in public schools, but he still
wasn’t prepared for what he discovered last Wednesday night.
Jodi Picoult bookThat was the night Baer learned that his 14-year-old
daughter had been assigned to read a novel that contains a passage so
sexually explicit that he described it as “pornographic.”
The novel, “Nineteen Minutes,” by Jodi Picoult is a controversial book
that tells the story of a fictional school shooting and the people it
affects. Though the book has been part of the curriculum in New Hampshire’s
Gilford High School since 2007, when it was assigned last Monday, school
officials gave no notice to parents of freshmen English students that the
book was being read, or of the novel’s sexually explicit content.
Baer tells EAGnews he became aware of the book’s objectionable material
purely by chance. A family friend was visiting last Wednesday and talking to
Baer’s 14-year-old daughter about how things were going in school. When
she mentioned that she’d just been assigned the novel, the friend picked up
the book and casually opened it to page 313 which contains a very graphic
description of a sexual encounter between two adolescents. The friend was
aghast as he read the passage, and asked Baer if he was aware of the book’s
content.
“I was shocked when I read the passage, and not much shocks me anymore,”
Baer says. “My wife was stunned by the increasingly graphic nature of the
sexual content of the scene and the imagery it evoked.”
Here’s an excerpt from the explicit passage:
“‘Relax,’ Matt murmured, and then he sank his teeth into her shoulder. He
pinned her hands over her head and ground his hips against hers. She could
feel his erection, hot against her stomach.
” … She couldn’t remember ever feeling so heavy, as if her heart were
beating between her legs. She clawed at Matt’s back to bring him closer.
“‘Yeah,’ he groaned, and her pushed her thighs apart. And then suddenly
Matt was inside her, pumping so hard that she scooted backward on the carpet
, burning the backs of her legs. … (H)e clamped his hand over her mouth and
drove harder and harder until Josie felt him come.
“Semen, sticky and hot, pooled on the carpet beneath her.”
Understandably, Baer doesn’t want his daughter exposed to this kind of
material, and says the school “has no business introducing such themes” to
his daughter.
He’s also disturbed by school officials’ failure to notify parents that
this novel was assigned, and there was no opportunity to “opt out.”
Baer, who is an attorney, believes that if someone stood outside the school
and handed out copies of the novel’s sexually charged passage to students,
he would likely be arrested and prosecuted.
He questions why it’s acceptable for “the state, through its schools and
agents,” to mandate reading and discussing this same material.
In a written response to an EAGnews inquiry, Gilford school leaders admit
they didn’t warn parents of the book’s controversial nature like they have
in previous years, and promised to send a letter to the home “of all
students who are currently assigned the book.”
We can only wonder whether the school leadership will see fit to include
page 313 with its notice.
Government schools pushing their perverted worldview
For Baer, this incident is the latest indication that the nation’s public
education system is bent on indoctrinating children with moral relativism.
He believes the politicians and educators running the public school system
want to dismantle the family unit, and undermine traditional morality, “
though they’re never going to admit this.”
“Many people in education and government truly believe our children are
theirs. That parents are only the custodians who feed them and put a roof
over their head. These school incidents are a byproduct of this ‘we know
best’ philosophy. They believe they have the authority to do this. If
people were more complacent, which is hard to imagine, it’d be even worse.”
Baer plans to attend the Gilford School Board meeting on Monday evening to
discuss this issue with the leadership of the school.
An EAGnews investigation finds that Picoult’s “Nineteen Minutes” is used
in several school districts throughout the nation.
California’s Sobrato High School includes the novel on its “9th Grade
Advanced Common Core” recommended reading list.
Pennsylvania’s Deer Lakes High School includes the book in its “Advanced
Academic English II” class.
G.W. Hewlett High School in New York has made the novel part of its summer
reading list for incoming 11th graders. The district, however, does caution
parents that some of the books on the list contain “mature” language and
content. | s*******y

节描写得有点多。但是这个年龄的阅读类年龄本来就是定义在YA的。话说回来，我这学
期的parenting课，也一再强调，父母应该和孩子
沟通性知识，当孩子生理发生变化和心理好奇的时候，从而才可以避免未成年怀孕之类
的问题。这个年龄的孩子你不让他从正常渠道了解，他们也会想法设法的去接触，有些
途径并非健康和安全的。

啊～新闻里的阅读至少说是青少年之间的事情，而且估计情欲描写也就那点，挑书的时
候，书里的moral理念很重要的。觉着大家都应该去上个Parenting的课,这样才知道为
人父母的真正意义。其实很多时候都是孩子成就完善了父母。
