“It was extremely pornographic,” Tambre Wells told Ben Deeter and Todd Starnes exclusively on “Wake Up Memphis,” the morning show on KWAM News Talk Memphis.
The DeSoto County mom explained her 14-year-old niece, whom she is raising, was “uncomfortable” with the homework assignment and immediately showed her the graphic material.The sexual content discussed in the book included masturbation, and she posted a portion of it on Facebook:
Wells told Deeter and Starnes that the school did a tremendous job in addressing the issue, noting they “reacted exactly how I would’ve wanted them to.”
