According to a report published by The New York Post, Knox Zajac, a sixth grader, spoke before a mid-February meeting of the Board of Windham Raymond School District, also known as RSU-14 — and as he stepped up to the lectern he explained that he was going to read a page from the book. …

The boy’s father, Adam Zajac, reportedly spoke up at the same meeting — and he also complained about how accessible sexually explicit material was to children who were well below the recommended ages for such content.

“This is bulls***,” he said. “We do not need to be having literature that is showing boys how to s*** d*** … you may think the schools know what’s best for our children. You know who knows best for our children? The parents.”

[It’s outrageous, and it’s indefensible. Sexually explicit literature is fine for adults, but this material does not belong in high school or middle school libraries. If school boards won’t exercise common-sense judgment on age-appropriate materials, then it’s time for communities to vote for laws that allow parents to take their resources and use them to select schools that will. — Ed]
