A Book Report Got Me in Trouble at My Adventist School

I wanted to share my story of a book report that got me in trouble at my Adventist school. I was in 8th grade and it was my first year at an Adventist church.

I loved to read and was reading Disclosure by Michael Crichton. I asked my teacher if I could use that book for the book report and she said no because it had too many sex scenes.

It only had two and I was forced to tell my mom in Spanish why I couldn’t use the book for my report. My mom made me throw away the book, and I was really sad because it was a hardcover and I paid for it.

Anyways, as I was browsing through the school library, I found a very interesting book. What caught my eye was that the cover had a warning of Satanic themes!

So I can’t read a book that had two little sex scenes, but I can read a Satanic themed book that had murder, necrophilia and much more, and that was okay? Wild!
