We are told in today's Star that Jacques Tremblay, the former Chair of the College of Teachers Disciplinary Committee, has other interests, including writing soft-porn for teens. The author describes his book, entitled Sexteens this way:
The Sexteens book “is meant to empower teenagers, to encourage them to be strong and resist or avoid peer pressure.” Tremblay said the book has “been endorsed by parents and educators.” He did not identify the parents and educators.
I have little to add, except that he decided to include in this 'instructional tome' a character named Harry Dick.
Not exactly my idea of worthwhile reading.
My name is Brianna, I've read this book and I can tell it's not porn. The newspaper should be careful prior to ruining someone's reputation, because this book truly has the purpose for teens to become self-assertive. The news publishes sensational stuff for people who likes scoops and many readers aren't critical enough to think beyond stage one.
ReplyDeleteTremblay was responsible for kicking a world class educator out of the education profession because the teacher dare protest child molesters being allowed to teach in Ontario. Mr. Temblay lives by his own sick words. http://missnixon.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/the-oct-blackballs-jim-black/
