Teacher Assigns 'Rules', Gets Removed From Classroom
What happens when a teacher in Queens, NY assigns her high school class to read The Rules of Attraction? The teacher gets removed from the classroom.
"The homework was to find the most descriptive parts. The only descriptive parts were the parts where they were doing sexual things," Grasso said.A review by Publishers Weekly called the book "...adolescent fantasy of sex..." that "...manages to pack in a suicide, assorted suicide attempts, an abortion, and the death of a parent."
Love their characterization that the "only descriptive parts" are of the sex. I'm guessing this same person could read American Psycho and say the only descriptive parts were of murders.
