RRISD Rents say TTYL to Lauren Myracle

It’s a cute little pink book; Bright yellow emoticons on the cover. Your eleven-year-old daughter brings TTYL home from the school library. When the “rents” review the book, they find out it’s not cute at all; in fact it’s vulgar and sexually explicit. That’s what happened to Wes & Sherry Jennings, parents of a student in a Round Rock ISD Middle School.

TTYL (Talk to You Later) is the book title. TTYL is about three High School sophomore girls who are best friends that stick it out through thick and thin. That’s all great. Too bad writer Lauren Myracle thinks teen girls will be sexually repressed by their Christian parents, and must be liberated by an X-rated and vulgar sexual expose of the "real world". TTYL is deservedly on the 2007 top ten most banned book list of ALA.


Thanks to persistent objection from RRISD parents, the book has been removed from Round Rock Middle School libraries. Superintendent, Dr. Jesus Chavez took action to protect young readers against TTYL on Monday, Nov. 17th.

Thank God that parents have stood up to the process, and persisted in protecting little ones. Thank God that Dr. Chavez recognized TTYL is not appropriate for Middle School girls. The Jennings and other Round Rock parents have set a great example, making a difference by engaging the process.
