Way to hyperbolize the actual incident.

The book was Gender Queer which is not a "pornography" book, but a personal memoir. The teacher had it in their class, but it was not being read to the students, nor was it offered to them in any way, shape, or form. I will agree that it is not appropriate for 7th graders, without parental consent as it ventures into some explicit content, but this situation is more of a mole hill than some are portraying it to be.

Teachers should be informed about the discussions occurring around their classrooms, so the teacher having it in their possession should not raise any alarms. The fact that the School District is considering further action against the teacher is the more alarming fact here.

I don't know anyone who would freak out over 7th graders and cartoon porn. It seems like a really silly thing to get upset over.

There are literal drawings of a guy getting his dick sucked. That is porn no matter how you try to spin it.
