The paperback journal titled, “642 Things to Write About,” has been a supplemental material in a senior writing course for more than five years. But just last week, a number of prompts got the attention of parents. Monica Haven read a few out loud at Monday’s school board meeting.
“Write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your Mom. Rewrite the scene into one you would let your Mom read,” she read, continuing with nearly a dozen more. “I hope each and every one of you is as uncomfortable as I am after reading that.”
Senior student Meredith Judson told the meeting, “The first day we got it, within 10 minutes, all of us around the room had already found the things out.”
At Monday’s meeting, Hudson’s Mayor Craig Shubert took it a step further, calling it a crime.

You cut out the part where he said he had talked to a judge earlier and they agreed with him. It's not just his own feelings like you made it seem.
-
The fact that the school board responded with such arrogance reinforces the need for their removal
-
DO NOT give them a choice, charge them immediately. If this was one of us we would be charged as a sex offender.
-
We need MORE people like this mayor! Kudos to you Sir!!!
-
the people from the city of Hudson should protest and recall all of them
-
Arrest them, jail time and a felony on there record.
-
They need to resign. This is shameful.
-
"I've spoken with a judge this evening"... why edit out the fact that a judge has agreed with his assessment that a crime has been committed?
-
I hope that the Judge issues warrants on the entire school board. It would be a shame if the Mayor's threat was ignored.
-
By thier presentation and ending comments, you can tell who's side the media is on..
-
Question is - how many schools in this state, in the country, have this book in their classroom?
-
He already talked to a judge before he said that,it was already confirmed, I hope they all get charged
-
The Mayor spoke with a judge and I am sure his ultimatum is not idle. This is a disgrace! Thank God for leaders like this Mayor taking a stand against out of control school boards. We must stand our ground.
-
I hope we get a follow up after they charge the board members
-
I hope they get arrested
-
How gross!! What is going on with schools? My mom would have pulled me out of that class.
-
Lock them up for 25 years.
-
You cut out the part where the mayor discussed it with a judge. Nice selective editing.

Those board members should be charged,. It is ridiculous that they fail to take responsibility for their apalling behavior.
