HUDSON, Ohio – Hudson Mayor Craig Shubert and Hudson High School parents are calling for the resignation of school board members and teachers after students in the school’s Liberal Arts II writing class received a book of inappropriate writing prompts.
“It has come to my attention that your educators are distributing essentially what is child pornography in the classroom. I’ve spoken to a judge this evening and she’s already confirmed that. So I’m going to give you a simple choice: either choose to resign from this board of education or you will be charged,” Hudson Mayor Craig Shubert said during the school board meeting on Monday.
A call to Shubert’s office on Tuesday was not immediately returned.
Monica Havens, the mother of a high school senior who received the “642 Things to Write About” book, previously worked as a teacher for 11 years, shared some of the prompts from the book at the board meeting, among them:
“Choose how you will die.
Write a scene that begins: ‘It was the first time I killed a man.’
Describe your favorite part of a man’s body using only verbs.
You have a dream that you’ve murdered someone. Who is it, how and why did the murder happen, and what happens afterward?
You are a serial killer. What TV shows are on your DVR list? Why?
The kill fee.
Write a sex scene you wouldn’t show your mom.
Rewrite the sex scene from above into one that you’d let your mom read.
