A coloring book for adults was shown to some middle schoolers at a CPS elementary school – and some parents say it shows too much.
As CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported, Chicago Public Schools rules do not require teachers to tell parents about books before they bring them into the classroom. But parents want to be part of the conversation.
The Heartstopper Coloring Book by Alice Oseman and corresponding comic book are advertised online as being for adults. It tells the story of a couple named Nick and Charlie – and on the cover illustration for one edition, parents have pointed out that it looks as if Charlie's hand might be down Nick's pants.
Parents say a seventh- and eighth-grade teacher's classroom library had two Heartstopper books on display for students to read, and sixth grade students also had access to the library. The books were not assigned reading, and are not part of the curriculum. As to the illustration on the cover, McElroy said:"If it were a man and a woman, I would still feel the same way. No."
