What in the hell–?

Get a load* of what Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” (WITF is that anyway?) apparently is promoting as proper reading material for kids grades 7-12. (Warning — the post at the link contains material that is not safe for work or brains.) Let me just say here and now that I used to read my parents’ erotica paperbacks (by such authors as Anne Rampling) when I was around fourteen or fifteen, but I did it the right way — by sneaking around and doing it on the sly. I would have died if they’d handed me, say, Exit To Eden when I was twelve, much less have found Erica Jong on my junior high English class reading list. Though it would have made book reports, which kids in Florida had to do for every single goddamn class including home ec and PE, a whole lot more interesting to do…

Anyway, this list is not only disgusting, but badly written — I’ve read better gay porn on Doctor/Master slash fic sites. (Warning: not safe for work, probably, or brains, definitely.) Not only is the new Progressive, Enlightened, Tolerant Administration of Hope and Change trying to corrupt the morals of the nation’s youth, it’s attempting to ruin any literary ability our children might have. Whatever your opinion about porn, gay or otherwise, I think we can all agree on the need to promote good writing.

I’m hoping it’s some kind of joke, myself.
