The father should bring criminal charges for providing pornographic materials to a minor to this whole school board and the organization responsible for adding this book to the curriculum.
So you can’t draw a picture of a gun, point your finger and say bang, or even wear a US flag on Cinco De Mayo but you can be assigned a smutty book about a fictional school shooting as a class assignment?
Down is up. Wrong is right.
Only Rhode Island and Massachusetts place significant (but not impermeable) barriers to homeschooling.
I suggest parents go to HSLDA.org and investigate homeschooling their kids.
With the advent of ONLINE classes and the growth rate of homeschooling taking off in this nation, you CAN do it, and it is oh so worth the time and effort.
Schools believe they are above parents and that decency laws do not apply to them
Decency is what they say it is - if its perverted, then its decent to most school systems.
Unless the Father is a district attorney he can’t bring criminal charges against anyone. What he can do is start a civil rights suit against the police department for deprivation of rights under the color of law. Civil rights suits can get downright scary for the budget of a town.

As parents that did it way back when (the kid is 30 yo now), I will testify to that. Given our daughter's abilities and personality, home schooling probably saved her life.
When she met her counselor at college (2000) his first comment was "I love home schooled students".
Looking back, based on how she matured and where she is now, it was one of the wisest decisions we ever made as parents. And it was an amazing learning experience for all three of us.

I think Mr. Baer should have read the controversial material in the meeting.
Exactly.
Baer’s a hero to all caring parents - hope he gets the charges dropped and the cop suspended/fired. The First Amendment is the First Amendment, period.
They are both classics of their genre, are they not?
What really burns me is NOBODY there even tried to help him...not so much as a peep.
Most either looked away or pretended it wasn’t happening.
I’d be ashamed to in Gilford....
Yeah, he groaned, and he pushed her thighs apart. And then suddenly Matt was inside her, pumping her so hard that she scooted backward on the carpet, burning the backs of her legs.
I'd say that's pretty racy for an assigned school reading.
Go to Amazon.com and look for the book.....it has a lot of reviewers from a wide selection of opinions.
I haven’t read it but, from what I read from these people is it touches on homosexuality, teen sex, abortion, uncaring parents and teachers blind to bulling.
and it is handled in the most graphic way....../owiw
Small town councils and school boards are getting arrogant and wielding unusual powers to shut the tax paying public up, and they learn this from the criminals who are destroying this country
