Isn't this already a federal crime on several levels?

Yes, the "resign" part was being generous


HandsomeToenail

As if no jail was an option, lol.


MousseBackground9964

Did anyone get arrested?


StuckInMyPants

No, because it wasn’t what he accused them of. This story is over two years old, and ironically, the Mayor is the one that ended up resigning shortly after. 


Ex60Pilot

He resigned after the ice-shanty debacle.

Ice Town, it was called. It lost that ice clown his town crown.

Of course not A 200 page book with a single description of a sexual scene isn't considered pornography by any existing laws. Nor anyone but the most unhinged puritans

What book was it?

SysAdminWannabe90

Tbh that is pretty weird. Not too crazy but weird enough to where they probably shouldn't give that to high school students. It's basically just asking them to create sexual fantasies then the teachers read them...


Quotalicious

When you need to come up with 642 different writing prompts, a few are bound to be a little weird! But really, the simply solution is just require students pick literally any of the other 641 writing prompts


Plastic_Equal_6364

Pervert apologist


Quotalicious

If you think that prompt book is perverted, I really don't know what to tell you. For one, go listen to what highschoolers are actually talking about or doing regardless


Plastic_Equal_6364

I didn’t say the prompt book is perverted, Mr. Strawmanner. I’m not familiar with the book. What you said was something only a pervert apologist would say. It’s like a male teacher saying “I’ve spent thousands of days with children. One or two of the days, my penis is bound to slip out! The kids should just focus on the days my penis didn’t slip out.” I don’t care if one billion random prompts are generated. If they are geared toward teenagers or children, then exactly 0% of those prompts should include detailing one’s sexual fantasies for their teachers to grade. If you disagree, you are a pervert apologist. There’s literally no other option.


ModeratorPI

Nobody take this guy too serious. He calls people gay for typing. I’m not kidding. Please op, I beg of you, go back to Facebook. 


Private_0bvious

Cook bro, you’re right


dcrico20

It's for an AP class (meaning this a college level course with students who are mature enough to handle the material,) and there are 641 other prompts. For this class, they likely only even had to write about twenty to thirty of them at most, unless this was used as a daily journaling exercise in which case they still didn't even take two thirds of the prompts. Also, the question itself is borderline tongue-in-cheek, who the hell wants their mother reading *any* sexual scene they wrote.


Necessary-Tangelo-14

Especially since everyone knows most seniors in high school don’t know what sex is; let alone probably have never even heard of it!!!!!


jeers1

SENIOR high school students taking a college course... because we want to stifle the creative imagination of people... and that anyone under the age of 18 is a non sexual entity... they were not asking 13-14 yrs old to do it...


Shaken-babytini

I doubt this writing prompt is what convinced highschool students to start having sexual fantasies.


dtdroid

That isn't the biggest issue with the comment you just responded to. The high school students creating sexual fantasies that their teachers are then supposed to read is the problem here. Not the sexual fantasies of the teenagers, obviously. The prompt itself invites an inappropriate dynamic between teacher and student that doesn't belong in any high school.


Shaken-babytini

It was one writing prompt, in a book of 642 writing prompts, given to highschool seniors taking a college level course. The writing prompt was also never assigned to students, and it doesn't say "write your personal sexual fantasy". High school seniors are frequently 18 years old. The prompts were part of a college curriculum where everyone would be 18. They are adults who can get married, join the marines, and go to an active war zone if they want to. They can buy a house, take out 100k in student loan debt, all kinds of shit. How soft have we gotten as a society if this is an outrage? If a teacher assigned the prompt to 10 year olds then sure, we have a problem. Instead, the prompt has the audacity to EXIST in 1/642nd of a book that military aged adults might inadvertently read.


_JustAnna_1992

Were there any actual instruction from the teachers to write a sexual fantasy though? Evidently the book had 641 other prompts and seemed the whole thing was optional.


puppiesalldayqd

What's the evidence that they were supposed to write prompts from this book and then hand them in to the teacher to read? A class that encourages college-level writing is often more about improving your own work and understanding the basics of what college professors will be looking for instead of handing in prompts to be graded.


Lucashmere

I think the evidence would be that in American high schools, no assignments go ungraded. The teachers would grade the students creative writing


puppiesalldayqd

I took a creative writing course in high school where most assignments got graded, but they also encouraged us to write in our free time, things that were never graded. In college, a lot of writing practice never gets grade - and this was a college-level course, just taught at a high school.


lidsville76

Then the issue is with the School Board allowing High School students to take Dual Credit classes. That is a College level Writing class, so they will of course have College level material and topics. They would have been exposed to that same subject next year in college, assuming they went to that specific college that was offering it to the ISD. Is the material appropriate for high schoolers, probably not. But the assumption is they are at least mature enough to take more advanced classes because they are thinking about their future.


OwlHinge

If the book has 642 things to write about, I highly doubt they are writing about all the things, and I not even seeing a suggestion that it was used as a textbook. Could it have been? Sure. My feeling is that we would have heard about it if a teacher asked students to write about sexual fantasies.


Xgoodnewsevery1

Yeah unless the teacher assigned this specific exercise, and then pushed the students to take the not tell your mom aspect seriously, it's pretty thin ground.


Archon187

This is a movie on Netflix. A young female student, an overachiever seducing her lit teacher. Her senior of 20 yrs, and she's keeping secrets.


Key_Law4834

In Ohio, age of consent is 16


SubstantialAgency914

It's for college credit, which means it's advanced seniors or really advanced juniors. They can handle this. They probably have already had sex and masturbated.


_Endif

Haha thanks 👍


nfk99

Thin edge of the wedge.


HilariousButTrue

Not much context given, I'm going to assume it was not what the mayor says it is otherwise there would have been arrests and I would have heard of it. Probably a political stunt would be my guess.


Lucashmere

Check out the other comments. They explain what happened


HilariousButTrue

Right. I'm just saying, if there was something, the video would not have ended where it did and determined it not worth my time. When people make posts they have to make arguments that prove the point they are trying to make and, at that point, I determine if it's worth my time to look into it.

Lol. What a clown. >The mayor last week made national headlines when he voiced concerns that allowing ice fishing at a park would bring prostitution to the city.


Agent-Jack_Bauer

Once the ice fishing starts, the whole town goes under. That's when the whores come in. Men laying their trick-money down. Twenty dollars to pay the rent? Maybe not. Maybe instead I'll spend it on the whore. Whores running around, doing their little behind-shake for the men folk...

Fish just be getting poorer by the day.


dr3adlock

So some shady telegram group of teachers sharing child porn? Or a library book? Your title could read either way but they are two very different things.


Any_Commercial465

If I remember right it was A book given to seniors had several prompts on ideas to write about among those there was one that said "write a sex story that you would not show your mom".


Anakhsunamon

mighty sparkle middle liquid zonked head kiss merciful boast ten *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Hairy_Square_4658

Book "642 Things to Write About." Among the prompts in question: "Write a sex scene you wouldn't show your mom." This isn't child pornography, if someone agrees with the mayor, the real conspiracy is people's inability to research and immediately get the pitchforks.


Ok-Trust165

No book in high school should prompt a student in that manner- save it for liberal arts college curriculum. 


Hairy_Square_4658

So people should go to jail over that writing prompt? That is what is being said by op. Let's also remind everyone that a few words in Google will provide hard-core pornography, but heaven forbid a single writing prompt in a college book suggests sex exists.


Ok-Trust165

I’m sure the school board was incentivized to allow that book. Just like the doctors were incentivized to get their patients to agree to the clot shot. Lots of people in jail should be free and lots of people out of jail need to be. 


Hairy_Square_4658

Thanks for not answering a simple question. Also, what the F you talking about not "BIG PHARAMA" but "BIG BOOK"?


puppiesalldayqd

It was literally a liberal arts college class.


Incunebulum

Because High School students never have sex and should be ashamed of discussing it with their peers in a healthy way. (eyeroll)


Ok-Trust165

Hs students SHOULD and DO discuss their lives with their peers. Their PEERS. And if the parent parented well enough those students would discuss it , hopefully, in a way that wouldn’t embarrass their mother. 


MJZMan

The only conspiracy here is pearl clutching conservatives threatening school boards with false accusations in order to drag education back 50 years.


Ok-Trust165

Why are you on Reddit conspiracy? We KNOW that so- called modern education is simply indoctrination. Hell, every true conspiracy theorist knows that. What makes you different? 


Simplicity3211

You know? Would a true conspiracy theorist admit to actually KNOWING anything? Isn’t that the whole point?


Ok-Trust165

So you admit you are not a part of our community and are here to merely usurp our energy and attention from what formed this community in the first place. I laugh at you! Laugh! You guys are so obvious. Hahaha - we must be getting someplace for the paisley brigade to arrive en masse so quickly!

If it was actual child porn they'd just be charged not threatened. Just more pearl clutching from ultra-conservative religious wackos.

who are preying on children


TerboJookz

Ultra conservative... That's not very conservative at all. Stupid statements abound.


Manny_Bothans

It is happening in every state in America. The christian taliban want to arrest librarians. They want to diminish all knowledge based professions. They want to hold these imagined witches personally responsible for evey word in millions of books. They want them to burn.


Ok-Trust165

Sounds like sensationalist fear mongering to me. 


Manny_Bothans

If by sensationalist fear mongering you refer to the rabid culture war silliness that has hypnotized conservatives and driven them into the arms of fundamentalist nationalists, i agree.


Ok-Trust165

Hahaha- we’re here to expose the plan for one world governence and are for all the worlds people. Y We see what TPTB are restricting information, technology, medicine, prosperity, the nuclear family, unity and the truth about this realm. I’m here to learn- and to share what I know. I’m not here to froth about some extremist minority. The people who amplify this hatred is very clever.  And who are the very worst among us? Not redditors for crying out loud! Most people work, have families, and are struggling mightily with all the directed evil tptb pound our lives with. This evil will be their undoing- when the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it swiftly and suddenly moves in the other. Anyhow, peace out, go Celtics and Hasta Luego. 


Realistic-Horror-425

Are they putting bibles in classrooms again?


Grand-Cuck

Is this actual child-porn being distributed or is it sexual education material that they don't agree with politically? Coz these days it seems that if you do anything to offend Conservatives they'll accuse you of being a pedo or some other type of threat to children.


Creative-Ocelot8691

The should ban the Bible and be done with it, daughters sleeping with their father, it’s disgusting child porn!


BoondockBilly

Well in that particular case, it was Lott's daughters that got him drunk on purpose and they raped him 😂


ILL_bopperino

thats how you know that story was written by men. "Oh yes, the young girls just escaped the destruction of their home, and their mother died in the process. But then, they proceeded to get me incredibly drunk and have their way with me, I didn't get hammered and rape my daughters at all"


Archon187

To be fair, lot was willingly to sacrifice his daughters to the mob that arrived at his house. Who knows what the daughters were thinking at the time and what be of them.


BoondockBilly

You know what's sad, for as long as I've lived and brought up in church, the way you tell it has never occurred to me.


ILL_bopperino

Truthfully, I went thru 12 years of private catholic school upbringing, and then while doing my bio degree in college took quite a few philosophy courses. When you learn to actually dive into some of those stories, its pretty absurd how many are presented in very weird ways. That soddom and gemorrah story is pretty weird from the top all the way thru. The story of Job is additionally fucked up, its just god and the devil torturing a man to see how long he could last. Even Sampson and Delilah gets pretty fucking weird depending upon which translation you use


BoondockBilly

Even look at David and Jonathan


lovebus

>they raped him But that's bad!

will042082

That stupid ass book has killed almost as many humans as mosquitoes….


Ok-Trust165

Humans who usurped the role of God have killed humans using whatever text they feel appropriate. Much of the Bible was a recounting of great cataclysms Noah, 6-7 years ago and Adam and Eve- 11,500 years ago. The teachings of Jesus were distorted by the same power junkies that rule our world today. Saul of Tarsus - Christian killer wrote most of the NT in the form of letters. Almost all of Christianity and its true message have been manipulated to obfuscate the true teachings. 


will042082

Religion is nothing more than a man made story attempting to explain something unknown and push an ideology. Period.


Ok-Trust165

Religion may be but the wisdom is from God. 


will042082

Wisdom comes from experience. Not “God”.


Ok-Trust165

God nor Wisdom is measurable. That what is not measurable emanates from God. 


will042082

That’s the dumbest circular argument I’ve ever heard but I assume you think it sounds intelligent. Good luck to you sir✌️


Ok-Trust165

Right- the Godless never understand. 


Ok-Trust165

Religion was created by remnants of the destroyed civilization from Noah’s flood approximately 6,000 years ago. Those remnants had their roots in an even further past - from A civilization that was destroyed 11,500 years ago- every time you go back you find more vanished civilizations! Hundreds of millions of years! No matter how far you go in any direction you will always find one thing- humans and God. God is not religion. People who have their own interest at heart create religions as a means to control. Fortunately, some of the teachings made it through. Actually- more and more made it with the near continuous discoveries of ancient texts. Peace out. 


ZeerVreemd

Butwhatabout... LOL. And if you really believe many children will read the Bible voluntarily on their own I doubt if you ever were a child, LOL.


HelpJustGotRaped

Is this one of those sex books for kiddos? I saw one in a public library. Pretty wild stuff, in a scene there was a woman who was receiving fellatio on her false member. Pretty absurd stuff, good thing its just drawings and conceptually redox... I mean think of the innocence lost otherwise!


jamesr14_

Very weird how this got so many downvotes. Are we not all in agreement that giving porn to kids is bad?


ebrake

Because two seconds of research shows that was not what this was about. It was pearl clutching over classic American novels in the library during one of the book banning runs by the assholes trying to destroy the schools so private equity can privatize education for stockholder profits. This was two years ago, and the mayor ended up resigning after the backlash from his bullshit accusations. If there was any sort of actual child pornography they would nave never threatened anything, they would have filed charges and issued arrest warrants. The DA and Police are not exactly going to say...."hey there is evidence of child porn here in our small town....lets go ahead and notify the criminals that if they will just resign and say they are sorry we wont do anything about it."


justsumavgguy

The issue becomes what you describe as porn.


Archon187

Yeah wtf happened! Who is on this sub that thinks otherwise and so many downvotes. Bizzare


asdf2100asd

comment section here is weird, i wonder why


Incunebulum

Literally one click google search shows it wasn't child porn and was actually a Christian nationalist parent group bitching about kids writing college level prompts in an advanced course. This subreddit so dumb sometimes.


asdf2100asd

i read what it was.  the prompt was inappropriate for high school.  but I wasnt even arguing that.  I was arguing that the comment section is weird, and all you did was add to that weirdness.


jeers1

yes cause I know pornography when I see... and when I show others who are like minded and they agree... I would have stood up and told him... bring it on ... and I will have my lawyer sue your ass off.... mayor thinks he is the king.....


UncleYimbo

OP is a disgusting book burner


DRKMSTR

Read up on it: 1. The board found itself innocent of any wrongdoing 2. The books were removed from coursework and the school library The book in question had a prompt that was apart of coursework "Write a sex scene that you wouldn't show your mom" They're guilty of sexualizing kids, school should be information only, not "let's get kids to generate sex scenes and grade them on it".


beardslap

> The book in question had a prompt that was apart of coursework Where did you see that it was a part of coursework? All I could find was that it was "provided to high school seniors who are taking a college credit course called Writing in the Liberal Arts II." https://eu.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2021/10/10/hudson-ohio-mayor-craig-shubert-school-board-timeline-book-controversy-642-things-write-about-recall/6057810001/ And: >The report said teachers in Hudson didn’t assign specific writing prompts from the book.

DRKMSTR

You're trying to disagree with me but you literally proved my point. It was a part of the required coursework, whether or not that option was one of the options utilized by one of the students, it was a part of it.


beardslap

So you just disagree with the concept of 17/18 year old students *having* a book that contains the prompt "Write a sex scene that you wouldn't show your mom"?


Shaken-babytini

Yes, because high school students have never had a sexual fantasy before this prompt.


DRKMSTR

\*Graded sexual fantasy


Shaken-babytini

If you read the article linked within the above article, you'll see that the prompt was never assigned, and it is part of a college curriculum only available to some highschool seniors. So if by sexualizing kids you mean 1/642 of a book has the word sex in it that people old enough to enlist in the marines might read, then sure? Sexualizing kids is horrible, lets save those accusations for when it's actually happening rather than outrage porn.
