The book was assigned to a gifted 13 y/o, but all the other students who were assigned this book were 16+. What is telling though is that the father didn't just express his wishes for his son, but he lobbied to have the book removed from the school all together! The disjointed way in which he picked out bits and pieces indicates that he probably didn't actually read it. Rather, he ended up with some "family's guide to literature", or his pastor provided him with the talking points. I recommend that everybody share and spread this pastebin link because most of the same talking points would very easily be used by parents of older children. Teachers should be prepared for this very sort of thing and be ready to counter it.
