<blockquote>In South Carolina a teacher has been placed on administrative leave for reading excerpts of Orson Scott Card’s science fiction classic Ender’s Game to his middle school students.

“The parent that reported him to the school district complained that the book was pornographic,” Tod Kelly writes. “[T]hat same parent also asked the local police to file criminal charges against the teacher. As of today, the police have not yet decided whether or not to file charges which is probably a good sign that they won’t. The school district, however, appears to agree with the parent, is considering firing the teacher and will be eliminating the book from the school.</blockquote>

This reminds me when my fifth grade teacher took "The Poseidon Adventure" book away from me.  I had perused Enders Game books as something I might want to read but now maybe I'll try out the first book.  That a movie on this series comes out in 2013 makes me suspect this incident might be part of a  publicity stunt.   I also wonder why a teacher would read a book in class.
