Last week, parents of students at Public School 150 in the borough of Queens began complaining about their children reading books filled with profanities and descriptions of sexual acts, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

Gladys Martinez wrote a letter to her son's teacher after hearing him talk about "First French Kiss," which describes a teen's bumbling make-out session. "I mean, he shouldn't be sheltered from the world but if he's going to learn that stuff it shouldn't be at school," Martinez said. Principal Carmen Parache told the Daily News that after reviewing the books, she found them "definitely inappropriate" and said classroom materials would be more carefully screened in the future.
