Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students

An anonymous reader writes "Forbes reports that a middle school teacher in South Carolina has been placed on administrative leave for reading sci-fi classic Ender's Game to his students. According to blogger Tod Kelly, '[A parent] reported him to the school district complained that the book was pornographic; that same parent also asked the local police to file criminal charges against the teacher. As of today, the police have not yet decided whether or not to file charges (which is probably a good sign that they won't). The school district, however, appears to agree with the parent, is considering firing the teacher and will be eliminating the book from the school.'"

    How ignorant.. Not one mention of political side and you just jump right on the bandwagon.

    With people like you, cheap labor will be easy to find.

    You're fucking retarded if you think this was a liberal parent getting all up in arms over this. When was the last time that this happened anywhere but in the inbred, hillbilly, neo-fascist, very republican bible belt?
