How much trouble would I get in for assigning this to my High School students

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 9 21:56:01 2020 No.14505552 It's not that great.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 9 21:57:58 2020 No.14505566 >>14505544 since it contains nasal coitus, pedophilia, and coprophilia, probably quite a lot. or, none at all, considering that most of them wouldn't be able to get past the first few pages anyway.

A nazi fucks a teenage boy in the ass and has a threesome with an underage girl. there is a detailed description of a man receiving oral sex and cumming down a a woman’s throat, as well as a man eating the fresh shit as it exits a dominatrix’s ass. That’s the most explicit stuff I can think of in the first 200 pages or so

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 9 22:31:58 2020 No.14505750 depends on the class. if you're doing some accelerated english thing you could probably do it with a trigger warning and signed waiver or something. doesn't make sense to assign it to anyone uninterested in reading it though.

in my TKAM fanfiction, he actually did rape her, he gets arrested again, atticus kills himself out of shame knowing he helped a guilty man avoid punishment and strike again, and then hitler rises from the grave and ends women's suffrage and everyone claps

That's more of a college read I think. If you want to give them Pynchon do Lot 49, but even that should probably be just for AP students (assuming you're in America). Just give them Slaughterhouse 5 instead.

Not saying everyone should hate it.im not one of those ppl who look down on others when they don’t share my interests.i don’t even necessarily dislike it.its just there r better books out there that deal with similar themes.tkamb’s selling point in school is its message which is telegraphed from a mile away.
