Oh, They'll Learn About It Soon Enough....

Parents at one school were outraged, so the school removed a book with a reference to masturbation from a sixth grade required reading list. The book is Sherman Alexie's “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,†which happens to be an award-winning book, and here's the line that blew parents' minds: “And if God hadn’t wanted us to masturbate, then God wouldn’t have given us thumbs. So I thank God for my thumbs.†I dunno, when I was in sixth grade, that would have just made me laugh, but parents kind of forget what it was like to be that age. Anyway, what was the most, um, adult book you ever read for school? (New York Daily News; Thanks to Ray Rossi at WKXW (New Jersey 101.5)/Trenton for the link)
