"Although it contains disturbing descriptions of rape, assault, and incest resulting in the birth of two children, enough to unsettle any adult, the book was placed in the Legacy High School Midland, Texas high school library."

They are not going to stop trying to push this material on kids.

Have you read what this book was about? I read what this book was about. And found it to be a good story. That older kids and teens should be able to read. I'm not sure why the pastor was removed.

The first example was kind of ambiguous without some context, but if he thought the rest of them were titillating, he either doesn’t understand literature, or he’s the pervert.

He wanted it removed because of inappropriate contentographic descriptions, a lot of what he read from the book was bleeped out. It's not appropriate for children.

According to the article, it was in the library of a high school.

Additionally, the pastor makes a living preaching from a book that contains passages nearly as graphic.

Aaaannnd, according to the article, the pastor is a contributor to TP group that published the article, so this grandstanding was also part of his job.

Just saying the book shouldn't be in school library. American kids are way behind in math and English, no need for this book.

That someone gets the vapors over it does not strike me as a compelling reason to remove it.

No need, especially if Christians like the idea of showing naked pictures of the President's son having sex with a prostitutes on prime time TV.
