Face Child P*rn Charges or Resign, Mayor Tells School Board
Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio, told school board members to either quit or face criminal charges for giving high school seniors 642 Things to Write About. This book of prompts amounts to child pornography, he said. Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., concurs.
“Parents are objecting not only to the sexually explicit writing prompts, but also to prompts that can only be called suicide-friendly,” Morse said. “Masquerading as a writing exercise, some are ‘prompting’ students to think about suicide in a way that would not occur to a mentally healthy person. The Sexual Revolution is, at its core, a death cult.”
Suggested topics for student essays included:
- “Choose how you will die.”
- “Write a scene that begins: ‘It was the first time I killed a man.’”
- “Describe your favorite part of a man’s body.”
- “Write ten euphemisms for sex.”
- “Write about the first time you had sex.”
- “Write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom.”
“Mayor Shubert is to be commended,” Morse said. “Most elected officials would rather close their eyes to this type of corruption of the young than take a stand.
“Clearly this is propaganda thinly disguised as education. Oddly enough, this book didn’t suggest essays on: ‘Why I intend to remain chaste until marriage,’ ‘Why suicide is morally wrong,’ or, ‘Write a scene explaining to your best friend the dangers of premarital sex.’
“This shows the absurdity of claiming that these ‘prompts’ are just suggestions for essays. This book is indoctrination, steering students to advocate for a certain point of view.”
While the publication has been pulled, no one on the school board has resigned.
“Whether Mayor Shubert carries out his threat to bring criminal charges or not, this school board is on notice: people are watching,” Morse said. “Elected officials, parents, and the public at large, are waking up to their responsibility to be ever-vigilant to bar the schoolhouse door to the Sexual Revolution.”
The Ruth Institute has interviewed several activists involved in combating the Sexual Revolution in schools, including Cathy Cleaver Ruse, Sharon Slater and Tracy Shannon.
The Ruth Institute is a global non-profit organization, leading an international interfaith coalition to defend the family and build a civilization of love.
Jennifer Roback Morse is the author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Love and Economics: It Takes a Family to Raise a Village.
