More than 1,000 parents in the Fremont School District in California are threatening to sue over a ninth-grade "heal" textbook containing graphic sexual images and references practices such as the use of vibrators and sado-masochism.

The Daily Mail  is reporting on the book entitled, Your Health Today, which contains a section on sex that is so raunchy more than 1,000 people have already signed a petition calling for the Fremont school book to stop using it in class. Check this link right here now.

Apparently, the book was chosen by health teachers in the district and approved 3-2 by the board in June to adopt it for its 2,400 ninth-grade students.

The problem is that the book is not age appropriate for the audience who will receive it. One parent, Asfia Ahmed, who read the entire book from cover to cover, said he contacted the book's author and was told it was meant for college-level students.

"It doesn't relate to these kids at all," Ahmed told SFGate. "I was shocked when I looked at the book the first time. I am willing to pursue legal action, and I have other parents willing to support me on this."

Ahmed has already contacted the Pacific Justice Institute, a parent's rights organization, but no suit can take place until after the parents pursue a formal appeal process within the district to protest the selection.

The district is defending it's choice, with school board president Lara Calvert telling SFGate that they chose the book because "We really want them [students] to have a safe place to get facts about their bodies and how to handle things and how they need to be mature to deal with these things."

The school board also believes this textbook is much more up-to-date than the one they were using because it addresses contemporary subjects such as e-cigarettes, same-sex marriage and the latest sexual trend - BDSM (bondage, discipline and sado-masochism).

"I want to let everyone know, if you think sex isn't happening with your freshmen, you need to take your blinders off," said campus supervisor Michele Hartmangruber. "It's happening, and it's happening in the corners, in the bathrooms, in the cars, in the parks and even on the 50-yard line in front of everyone."

But many parents don't see that as a reason to introduce 13 year-old children to the kind of risky sexual behaviors described so graphically in the book.

Parents are permitted to opt their children out of the sexual education segment of the book, but completion of the rest of the course is mandatory for graduation.

Thus far, Fremont is the only school district that is using the controversial text.
