Look, IT'S FRIGGIN REAL. Geeze, not everything is on Fox news, ya know.
Local news.
As to the particular school, out of respect to my boss, I'm not naming it.
Gads, julius, are you of the internet generation or what?
No, I'm of the generation where people actually would make up stuff to get back at teachers (or bosses, or pro athletes) and usually do a sloppy job at it. And this reeks of it.
If I was a parent and this happened, I'd first call the teacher and see if it was real, and if it wasn't, I'd talk to the principal at the school. And if it was, I would contact the principal at the school and let them know, and then I'd call the news because I'd want the teacher fired.
As for the books, the one about the "homo" thing, is probably the "Homo Handbook: Getting in Touch with Your Inner Homo: A Survival Guide for Lesbians and Gay Men".
Now, it depends on what the class is (although obviously you'd need admin approval and parent approval), but what if this is an after school transgendered/gay/straight alliance type club? That makes a difference. But at the same time, the book only had a running of 25K books, so getting it would be somewhat difficult.
The how to have sex like a porn star or whatever, has no educational merit for an English class (not even a college class could use it for anything more than "how to write a book about crap"), OR an after school club.
Why would a teacher assign those two books in a regular class (I'm assuming an English/lit class)? There are obviously books to assign that might cause some parents to be a little confused or find the books offensive, but why would a teacher risk their career to include two books obviously against the school's policy? Unless that teacher is a complete moron, a teacher wouldn't do that.
Students can easily get their hands on a letter-head from the school (or use one of the form letters sent home from schools) and re-create a book list. It's not that hard to do.
