They're teaching Twilight in the 8th Grade: Lesson plan.

Apparently it's true.

WTF?!

There is not enough Horror in the world. What kind of fucking retards do they have have running the school system?

Dear God. Those book may be good enough for grown women to laugh over, but I'd never let it get within 500 feet of a fourteen-year-old's impressionable grey matter. And now they're force-feeding this sexist tripe to the poor kidlets.

Here's a tip, idiots. What a thirteen-year-old (boy or girl) really needs is a foundation course on Women's Studies, which explains exactly what constitutes sexual assault and how to keep away from abusive relationships and how to lose a control-freak boyfriend who sabotages your car to try and stop you meeting your friends. After you've fed him his own sparkly peen. 

U.S, you have now officially crossed over from batshit country and are now speedily approaching the horizon of FUBAR. (Seeing as I'm in SL, I'll probably be there to meet you when you get there.) 

For the first time in the history of book publishing, you actually do need to think of the children and this is what happens.

To be fair, it's not the entire US education system. It boggles me how they could have got this past the school board, though.
