      She works for the right wing version of scholastic. She was also home schooled, so when would she have even gotten a book from scholastic? The whole story is bullshit.

        Oh, she’s a lying liar, but I was homeschooled and I had Scholastic through a stupid homeschool mommy group. It was honestly the best part of being homeschooled, getting the catalog and my mom decided how many books we could afford to buy that time around and how many books we could each pick out and then going through the catalog and deciding which ones I wanted. I was isolated, abused, getting a shitty education, and had no friends, but the one thing I could do was read well above my age level, so I read like there was no tomorrow. I was reading novels by the time I was 6 and in elementary and middle school I was reading over 300 full length novels a year, because I had nothing else to do with my life. I read everything and anything I could get my hands on.

    Such a shame, if she hasn’t seen that one very specific book, she would never again have possibly been exposed to “a single kiss” and would have therefore lived a perfectly puritanical life devoid of any sexual gratification, exactly as Jesus demands we impose on all children everywhere.

    Imagine getting to blame everyone else for your shortcomings.

    Or having to deal with the imaginary shortcomings of other people that you don’t have. Such as, being able to read the Fahrenheit 451, without getting a boner.
