Mom Says Assigned School Novel Is Porn

September 14, 2005

Local6.com: “DELAND, Fla. — A mother of an 11th grade student in Deland filed a formal complaint Tuesday claiming a book her daughter was assigned to read by her literature teacher is pornography.

Vikki Reed said a 1992 novel, “Cracking India” by Bapsi Sihwal, given to her daughter to read by a Deland High School teacher is not suitable for students and should be banned.

The novel details historic events in India in the 1940s through the eyes of a young girl.

However, Reed says it discusses oral sex and should not be assigned to students.

“The real issue is a 9-year-old girl having or being introduced to oral sex by her cousin who is going through puberty,” Reed said. “To me, that is totally inappropriate. I don’t know where learning about India would involve learning about oral sex.”" More
