Talking about bad books. HAS anyone ever really looked at the collected works of Flannery O'CONNOR ? Talk about LUSTFUL and putting immoral thoughts in young childrens heads. I can't for the life of me understand why the Pius X Society has such an obsession with Flannery O'Conner. they have forced this literature on our children at st. marys academy. I read some of Flannery's stories ,some of the same stories that the children at st. mary's academy have been forced to read as a captive audience in classrooms at the academy. These stories are a crude way of giving our children sex education. I was wondering if the state has put pressure on the Society to inculcate some kind of sex ed program because of tax laws etc.. Every parent should take a few minutes and read the garbage coming out of the academy in Flannery's books. Oh, but I heard in the recent past some parents brought this up at a meeting and were pooh poohed by one of the Child's as having the same mindset as the Pius X Resistance. You've got to love a good modernist, they preach tolerance but you get in their space and the become ruthless. So the new god at the academy is literature and don't you forget it you peons out their. We elite know whats best for your kids and if you don't like it take them out of this school. And that is what the parents were told. Whatever happened to spiritual feeding and giving our children nuorishment for the soul ?

I don't care for her writing myself but don't remember anything particularly "lustful" in the few pieces I read.  What are you referring to?

I know people claim she was a great writer but I think she was just full of herself, I don't even think she was a very good wordsmith.  

If someone feels she must be read her works would certainly be more appropriate to college age, not high school, because of her convoluted style.
