    There is an agenda by the liberals to destroy our children by sexualizing them. Sickening!

    I am disgusted this is even an issue. I will pull my children out of public schools before I let them read filth like that.

    Common Core is destructive and this type of literature has no place in education. Public school is soon going to force me and many, many others to make the decision to pay for Christian school.

    Not the type of education I want for my children. This is not a book that should be used for education.

    Tis book is porn. My child will not be reading it in high school. Period. How about some classical education? Hey, how about just education... You seem to have forgot that angle....

    There are thousands of better books out there than this. Don't think appealing to sex in order to be "relevant" or "modern" is enlightening our students at all. It's subjecting them to the same filth they're surrounded with on a daily basis and completely demeans women and the act itself. Classic it is not.

    Sexual assault and pedophilia are too.complex and traumatic to their victims to be portrayed so casually and sympathetically to people just beginning to form sexual identities. I love free speech but I believe that entails some modicum of responsibility in what we require youth to read.
