Teacher Suspended For Reading Ender's Game To Students

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-the-teachers,-they're-the-enemy dept.

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.'"

    >> Between Santorum, Limbaugh and the rest of those jokers bible thumping their way into our bedrooms but refusing to even tax one cent of a rich person's income (because that's government intrusion), this country is really and truly fucked.

    You realize that Santorum and Limbaugh have never tried to "thump their way" into anyone's bedrooms. You made that up because you thought it sounded smart...

    And NOBODY is "refusing to even tax one cent of a rich person'd income."

    Even a cursory look at IRS data shows that to be a false paradigm.

    Do you always post nonsense and lies to Slashdot posts?
