Kadena High School has selected several books from the DODEA Scope and Sequence that are sexually explicit in detailing rape, domestic violence, and brutal and hate-driven violence. These pieces of literature are desensitizing and normalize child marriage, child soldiering, and racial violence. As parents and students, we request that the material to be covered is discussed with both students and parents before required reading is distributed. Additionally, we request that any student who wishes to not be forced to read such material be provided an alternative book to read without suffering any penalty.
