Crazy dad modern book burner

Oct 07, 2009 17:00

Ok, that's taking some creative license, but the idea is the same: a Virginia father has freaked the hell out because his 16-year-old son brought home the novel "Perks of Being a Wallflower" from school. Apparently the book centers around a boy who is a freshman in high school, and explores issues like homosexuality and drugs.

The Dad says it isn't age-appropriate, is pornography, doesn't think anyone should read it, and is "infuriated." Apparently he isn't aware that drugs and homosexuality exist at his son's high school, and getting outraged by a book that dares to discuss complex topics is pretty damn stupid.

censorship, absurd, teenage sexuality, parents, high school
