(Greensburg, IN) – Several patrons addressed the Decatur County Community School Board last week, upset that a student was reportedly asked to read a book in her AP English class that they consider pornographic.
The people spoke on behalf of the South Decatur High School student and her parents, saying the book titled “Blindness” by Jose Saramago contains perverse and graphic speech that high school students should not be exposed to.
One of the speakers said the Indiana Attorney General’s office has a program called “Eyes on Education” that allows parents and others to file a complaint.
Another speaker said the teacher encourages cursing in class.
There was no action taken, but school board president Todd Mauer thanked the speakers for voicing their opinions on the matter.
