    There is no way this book should be allowed in a school. There are better ways to teach the concepts it purports to relay.

    Even in college, my professor have us a choice about this book because of how extremely graphic it is. Even as an adult, it was too much for me. I would never allow my own children to read this.

    Graphic content does not makes something more valuable or more educational.

    Literature and art are important to child's education. Not all art is appropriate for all audiences.
