'It's hilarious': Asst. principal stunned after he's booted for reading 'I Need a New Butt' to second-graders
|
[BIZPACREVIEW] Mississippi elementary school assistant principal Toby Price was shown the door last week after, in what the superintendent called "a lack of professionalism," he read a second-grade class a book called "I Need a New Butt."
The kiddies are in second grade. Shouldn't they be reading it themselves?
The book, written by Dawn McMillan, is a "silly" story about a young boy’s quest to find a new butt because his "has a huge crack."
"Will he choose an armor-plated butt?" the Amazon description asks. "A rocket butt? Find out in this quirky tale of a tail, which features hilarious rhymes and delightful illustrations."
In his termination letter, the superintendent accused Price of showing "impaired judgement" when he chose the "inappropriate" book, citing its use of words such as "butt" and "fart" and a cartoon illustration of a kid’s backside, according to NBC affiliate WLBT of Jackson.
Price only read to the students because he was told to after the principal failed to show up to a Zoom class.
"I text my boss," Price told NBC. "She said, ’Well go ahead and read.’ I wasn’t planning on reading, but I went ahead and grabbed one of my books that I had nearby. One of my favorites. I read it: ’I Need a New Butt!'"
"It’s hilarious," Price added.
Price, who served for three years as assistant principal at Gary Road Elementary School in Byram, MS, said he’s read the book to students at other schools without incident.
"I didn’t think twice about reading it because I’ve never had an issue with it before," Price told WLBT. "There are other books that have much more suggestive material that are much more widely accepted.”
