The New York Times: Texas: Teacher Put on Leave Over Reading List
A popular high school English teacher in Tuscola in west-central Texas has been placed on paid leave and faces possible criminal charges after a student’s parents complained to the police that a class reading list contained a book about a murderer who has sex with his victims’ bodies. The teacher, Kaleb Tierce, 25, is being investigated for distributing harmful material to a minor after the student selected and read “Child of God” by the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy. Mr. Tierce, who has not been charged with any wrongdoing, declined to comment.
