Ohio mayor calls for resignation of school board after students were assigned a controversial book with writing assignments that asked them to describe sexual experiences, to pretend they were a serial killer and to describe the taste of beer.

The mayor of Hudson, Ohio, is calling for the resignation of the entire Board of Education after high school seniors were assigned a controversial book with writing assignments that asked them to describe sexual experiences, to pretend they were a serial killer and to describe the taste of beer.

"While we respect the Mayor’s position within the City of Hudson, in accordance with the State laws of Ohio, the supervision of the public schools of this District is the responsibility of the Board of Education," Zuro said in a statement. The book also contained less provocative prompts such as describing the worst Thanksgiving dish or writing about the perfect day as an astronaut.

“I can’t even wrap my brain around a teacher, I don’t care if it’s for college credit, these are minors,” she said.

And this is why public schools are not trusted and performing poorly!

Thank God for that Ohio mayor. Exposing these American Communist Party members agenda to corrupt our own children. And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. - 1 Samuel 7:8

What Oh, Ohio… 😞

Good.

it’s ohio

That's quite insane ! How can the young generation be instructed so ?

It was a college class in which the students and parents signed a waiver acknowledging that it may contain adult themes. End of story.

The school board's excuse was that they didn't review the material they approved

personal liberty and freedom of choice: simple as that

Gotta get himself re-elected somehow.

1. It is a college level course only with students who were approved for college level learning. (1/3)

Starchy,hyperreligious, empty, and devoid of imagination. No wonder Ohio is one of the declining States.

He’s teaching a college level course for high school seniors. If the school board didn’t want their high school students being tired like college students they shouldn’t offer college level courses. They’re talking about high school seniors, most of whom are near or over 18.

The use of the word essential would indicate this was a solely a matter of opinion and taste.

Education for the Real Life!

Wtf

Biden and his team are failing America

What....in....the....hell?!

Omg

He’s right WTH

Schools have academic freedom, and the government should not interfere with academic freedom.

Ready to for Congress, no worries.

Like comment if Castration is the answer for these sickos in this country.

This absolutely obscene and there needs firings and possibly arrests

Ahhh ... ALL Of the Wonderful REAL LIFE Curriculum....📖 That Awaits to Educate Them ... Throughout their Lives...🧐

Who doesn't love a good old fashioned midwestern freak out? Lol. In my day (30+ years ago) we had seen much, much worse than this in 'R' Rated movies.

What standard does this assessment go with?

Beer? Delicious. Killing? Sorry, don't roll like that. Sex? 2 most often heard: 1 I've never done that before. 2 No one has ever done that to me before. End of story.

Teachers don’t decide what the curriculum is, schoool boards do!!! If only one teacher did this surely the mayor did his due diligence before demanding the school board resign!

Why is the School Board forced to resign when a book assignment comes from the teacher? What's really the motive behind the Mayor's aggressive approach that matches the national assault on School Boards?

Tell this moron to shut the fuck up!

I'm confused. School board members do not assign curriculum. Teachers choose curriculum and assign it. The actual teacher should be fired, if it's even a true story.

💢Whatever happened to teachers just sleeping with thw kids?Now,they're giving them homework?

Yes, this was awful and proper oversight was omitted before the book was distributed. A glaring error. But the damned politician mayor should stay out of this and let the school board investigate and sanction and make sure this doesn’t happen again.

That actually sounds like SCOTUS prep....they just missed mysterious debt write-off...

Well. maybe slightly ambitious, but if it's for an accelerated or gifted writing program, those kids are already writing this stuff without sanctioned prompts. I think their elders haven't caught up with the reality of 17 or 18.

Now that if true is disgusting.

Mayor and his attempt at abuse of power.

Check his freezer.

Well Teach, I worked on teat number 3 last night... and know 3+1=4. Thanks, Teach, I mean Coach. Coach had 2.

wtffff

Sometimes I don’t understand this world at all.

Critical Race Theory.

Yo wtf

Joe Burrow has big gorilla balls.

642 options. They were not assigned those prompts to write about. They are high school senior's enrolled in a AP class for college credit.

Ohio mayor is all you need to say.

Hmm, seniors for college level credit. Essentially college course material. I'm not sure what to think about this, seems like an oversight by the board. Also, I think there's a bit of an overreaction by the mayor. Don't think he's legally correct here.

Oh, chill out, spanky. This guy has no authority to threaten a damn thing. They screwed up in vetting this book, sure...but this guy's just out for notoriety with the god-botherers.

No doubt. Are they recruiting republicans?

I mean, if there’s anyone who knows child pornography, it’s white Republican males.

WTFFFFFFFF?!!!!!!!! FIRE All of them!!!

IDK about this one. It was for high school seniors taking a college prep course.

Whoever got the book without reviewing it should be reprimanded and face a consequence, but calling for the resignation of the entire board or face charges is really extreme.

Some moron probably googled “books for writing prompts” and added it to the book list without reading through it thoroughly. A nothing burger story of negligence, nothing nefarious 🙄

I was ready to rage but it was literally a list of 650 lazy writing prompts someone got from the internet that no one vetted before giving to their HS seniors. Pretty laughable

Horrible!
