“I spoke to your principal today about the book your teacher assigned, and its inappropriate content. She said she needed to read the book before passing judgment, and I told her I understood that. But she better be a quick reader, because I know I’m not the only parent she’s going to be hearing from. Many of us are upset by this.” Upset by what? I wanted to ask. But really, I didn’t want to have anything to do with whatever they were doing. I’d read the book and find out for myself. In secret.
