Mayor of the town, after multiple students shared the assignments with their parents after it made them uncomfortable, is calling for their entire school board to resign and a judge called the assignments "essentially child pornography"
“It has come to my attention that your educators are distributing essentially what is child pornography in the classroom,” Hudson Mayor Craig Shubert told the Hudson Board of Education during a meeting Monday.
“I’ve spoken to a judge this evening. She’s already confirmed that. So I’m going to give you a simple choice: You either choose to resign from this board of education or you will be charged,” Shubert said before leaving the podium, receiving applause from the audience.
Shubert’s statement followed the revelation that high school students enrolled in the advanced course “Writing in the Liberal Arts II,” were issued a book called 642 Things to Write About, which featured some overtly sexual writing prompts designed for adolescents.
Among the ideas in the book were suggestions to “write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom” and to “rewrite the sex scene from above into one that you’d let your mom read.” Another prompt encouraged underage drinking, asking students to consume a beer and describe its taste, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.
Others asked the students to write out X-rated Disney scenes, a sermon for a preacher caught in a sex scandal, choosing how you would die, and what would be on your DVR if you were a serial killer.
