sec: Handmaid's tale

[Michele Missner <missnerm@ATHENET.NET>]

It seems that an English teacher from another high school in the district
has recommended that AP English classes read Atwood's _The handmaid's
tale_.   He is concerned about the explicit sex in it and wondered about
its appropriateness for high school escpecially in the present political
climate.  Are any schools using this books for ap or high school
English.  If so, have there been any repercussions?
Thanks, Michele
