Racy passages cut from course book by staff at New Rochelle High

Racy passages cut from course book by staff at New Rochelle High: School officials are distancing themselves today from the actions of the New Rochelle High School’s English department staff, which reportedly tore out pages of a literature book used in a senior class because the passage included references to oral sex.

“This action was not authorized by the Board of Education and absolutely is not condoned as sound teaching practice,” the Board of Education said today in a statement.
