no place in our schools.

Book Title:

MelissA

Book Author:

Alex Gino

Parental Concerns:

My reasoning for wanting removal is,
It mentions private body parts (pg49) offers sexual inappropriate content, mentions porn magazines (pg 16,135) indoctrinating young minds into thinking certain ways and offering touchy immoral subjects and lifestyles that not all approve (pg51) mentions medical procedures which is again topics that these young minds should not be hearing about from a book at school. It’s a very serious matter between kids and parents and shouldn’t be taken lightly (pg102) inappropriate behavior boys looking up skirts and describing peeing like a girl. You can’t describe this without mentioning private parts. Inappropriate (pg 171,182) cutting off male private parts (pg135)

So inappropriate, on so many levels. This is not okay. Children should not be reading books on such heavy topics at school. This book talks about highly controversial topics. Parents deserve the right to know if their children are reading books like this.
Heavy material for such young minds. Very disappointed.
