Parents must decide
 

What is sensitive material? Bringing a toy gun to school is too sensitive?  But reading and discussing incest and rape is not?  A full-blown abusive sexual story is not too sensitive for a minor? The kids will be tested on their knowledge of this kind of material? I demand a reasonable advance notice to parents and students of the intended use of controversial materials as well as provisions for alternative materials upon request.
