The mother of a ninth-grade Shakopee High School student says her daughter was sent home from school with a book containing pornographic material.

According to Rachael Lynch, the book was handed out for her ninth-grade student’s Human Geography course.

“The Best We Could Do,” a graphic novel telling the story of a refugee family from Vietnam by Thi Bui, says that it’s for children ages 13 and up. Images of the novel obtained by Alpha News depict topless women. One line in the book reads, “I want to eat your pussy.”
