A Child Called It, available at the Cameron middle and high schools

In the video below is a bit of a reading from the Dave Pelzer autobiography, A Child Called IT. This book is made available in the Cameron R-1 school district to children as early as the 6th grade. We also read from the review of this book by a current high school ELA teacher who refers to it as “horrific and terrifying.“

No restrictions of any kind are placed on this book by the Cameron school district. The district does not require parental approval for their children to read this book. Call me old fashioned, but the school district should REQUIRE the express permission of parents before they give them books to read that contain content like this.
