TARGET: Permission for reading "Mature" material

[Leola Gaugler <lgaugler@SEAL-PA.ORG>]

I recently had a middle school reading teacher ask me for a form or
letter that might be sent home for parental signatures indicating
permission for a student to participate in the reading of a book that
contained "mature" themes.  I believe this teacher was trying to protect
herself and would therefore offer an alternate book for those students
whose parents declined their child's participation. =20

Are any of you using such an item for any materials you may use in the
classroom?  I think similar permissions have been requested for viewing
certain videos or movies.

Thanks for any suggestions or help with this.
