READING, Pa.
The book "The Buffalo Tree" has been reinstated without fuss to the Muhlenberg School District's reading list.
The book, by Adam Rapp, had been removed from the curriculum in April after a student and some parents objected to its references to masturbation and pornography.
Joycelyn Elders , (May God have mercy on her bloody soul.) call your office.
The book is about a 13-year-old serving time in a juvenile detention center.
Not exactly The Pickwick Papers, eh, kiddies?
"The Buffalo Tree" had been taught in 11th grade English courses since 2000, and the decision to drop it drew an outcry from other students and teachers who said it conveyed a positive message about anti-bullying and friendship.
The school board voted 6-0 Wednesday to once again approve the book for use in English classes. No one in the audience commented.
If I said it once, I said it a million times...
GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS!
Oh yeah, and
TAKE SOUTER'S HOUSE! TAKE SOUTER'S HOUSE!
too.
