Peter Noyes elementary school lists this book in there online catalog. I’ve been keeping an eye out and up to now i thought they were ok— but now i have my doubts and will have to get more involved… I notified my granddaughters parents about this.
Edward, I've started a Parental Rights Sudbury facebook page. I'm trying to get people organized. I have two kids in the Noyes school and another at Curtis.
The Library of Congress no longer classifies "Let's Talk about It" by Moen et al., as "sex eduation for children". After I questioned this classification last December, it was changed, designating the book as appropriate for teenagers, instead, although it is really not that, either. Here is the response to me by the LoC:
"The subject heading Sex education for children--Comic books, strips, etc. has been changed to Sex education for teenagers--Comic books, strips, etc."
When I asked why it had been considered appropriate for children I received the following response:
We checked the Noyes catalog and it appears to be available in ebook format. If that is correct, there won't be a physical copy at the school but students can access it electronically!

Did you get permission to use the excerpts? You might be violating copyright.
We checked with an attorney first, but thanks for your concern.
It’s on the school library online catalog. See the email body from MIP to get to the link
I hope it’s a mistake and not physically at the school but i’ll be checking soon

isn’t that worse these days -?? I’ll have to figure out how to make the parents aware
Quincy Public Schools don't have it - I checked, but Quincy Public Library has it.
