WARNING: Graphic content regarding Common Core

[Gina]

WARNING this is a very graphic description of child rape and incest. This book is part of the 11th graders recommended reading list for the common core curriculum. Would you approve of your child to read such a graphic book if it were required? I understand even though it is approved doesn't mean it will be read. How many people think this is appropriate for 16-18 year olds to read and discuss?

I have made it tiny so that it doesn't offend anyone, it's that bad.  I can't believe this is allowed.  


Quote:
Pages 162-163: “A bolt of desire ran down his genitals…and softening the lips of his anus. . . . He wanted to f*** her—tenderly. But the tenderness would not hold. The tightness of her vagina was more than he could bear. His soul seemed to slip down his guts and fly out into her, and the gigantic thrust he made into her then provoked the only sound she made. Removing himself from her was so painful to him he cut it short and snatched his genitals out of the dry harbor of her vagina. She appeared to have fainted.”

Page 174: “He further limited his interests to little girls. They were usually manageable . . . His sexuality was anything but lewd; his patronage of little girls smacked of innocence and was associated in his mind with cleanliness.” And later, this same pedophile notes, “I work only through the Lord. He sometimes uses me to help people.”

Page 181: “The little girls are the only things I’ll miss. Do you know that when I touched their sturdy little t*** and bit them—just a little—I felt I was being friendly?—If I’d been hurting them, would they have come back? . . . they’d eat ice cream with their legs open while I played with them. It was like a party.”

I wished more people would wake up to Common Core and what their kids are learning/NOT learning  

Obama biography, required reading, tells fourth-graders that white Americans are racists

 
"Some parents in Dupo, Ill. are not happy that a biography of President Barack Obama is required reading for fourth-graders. They say the book contains a host of controversial elements, not least of which is that it casts white Americans who disagree with Obama’s politics as racist.

Fourth-grade students at Bluffview Elementary School were instructed that they would be tested and graded on the book’s contents, reports EAGnews.org."

I've had to read two Toni Morrison books in school, Sula and Beloved.  Neither were as graphic as this one, but they weren't very good books (in my opinion) either. 

I did have to read Clan of the Cave bear in 11th grade, and that book does have several rape scenes, but I think they were much more tastefully done than this one, and there is so much more to the book that those few scenes aren't the focus of the entire story.

I had to read that book when I was in college. Never understood why it was so popular. I thought it sucked donkey balls.
