Teachers who read teenage students
an excerpt from an explicit gay sex novel at one of Rome's most
traditional lycèes have been denounced for allegedly corrupting
minors after parents took umbrage, authorities said Monday.
The storm erupted after teachers at the Liceo Giulio Cesare
school read pupils excerpts in class from Melania Mazzucco's
novel "Sei come sei" (You are as you are) including a gay sex
scene in a changing room.
Some parents objected to the reading material and contacted
the Association of Lawyers for Life and the Pro-Life Onlus
Association, which formally denounced the teachers to the Rome
public prosecutor's office, accusing them of corrupting minors
and putting on an obscene show.
"The pupils in question are aged from 14 to 16," said the
denunciation.
"The use of overtly obscene material can only be offensive
to the average person, especially if one considers that this was
aimed at a public of minors".
