Pete Winn at CNSNews.com reports that High School Offers Homosexual Porn, Parents Complain:
"Parents in Deerfield, Ill., are upset that a local high school is using books in advanced English classes this spring that they say are laced with graphic sexual content, pervasive expletives and mockery of religion."
Be warned, the article is graphic.
Later Pete reports:
"While the books may be pornographic, they aren't legally prosecutable as obscenity, as the parents' group soon found out."
Five or six weeks after the parents complained the school decided to take the book off the required list and make it optional.
Wow.
Michelle Malkin calls this Reason 99,976,522 to homeschool. I agree.

Just when I think that I can no longer be taken aback by something done in schools.
It make me sad to ponder what work got left out of the class list in order to put this on.

Good point.
Sebastian, have you actually read the play in question? Do you know how much of it is "homosexual porn"? I don't see these people trying to ban books for being explicit about _heterosexual_ sex. I also don't trust these people's word as to what amounts to "homosexual indoctrination," since these people seem to apply that label to everything except Levitican law.
Hector - in my experience most of the parents who would object to homesexual porn would object to explicit heterosexual porn.
Many parents, myself include, do not want schools exposing young teenagers to porn. I have read of news articles about parents objecting to explicit heterosexual books in high school English classes.
