Citizens Defending Freedom wants to have a graphic novel book series showing “explicit violence, mild profanity, and graphic sexual activities” removed from classrooms in Florida that show kids shooting, killing their teachers, and more.

The nonprofit organization announced on Monday its members will challenge the book, titled “Assassination Classroom,” from popular graphic novelist Yusei Matsui after the novel was found in middle schools in the state, a CDF press release read.

The novel shows images of children aiming at and opening fire on their teacher, who’s turned into an alien, in an effort to save planet Earth, Epoch Times noted.

On one page a students is saying, “All those bullets and we missed.” There is also a depiction of two other students saying, “WE’RE ASSASINS AND OUR TARGET is … OUR TEACHER.”

On another page, an image of a young man says “I’VE BEEN WANTING … T0 KILL A TEACHER.”

The novel also shows sexually explicit images and age-inappropriate language with references to “boobs” while female characters are dressed in bikinis and lingerie. For example, there’s an image of a young female student straddling a nude man’s pelvis. The man is lying on his back as the student points a gun at him.

“This is yet another example of age-inappropriate material in our children’s schools,” Florida State Director Sarah Calamunci said. “Citizens Defending Freedom has no objections to books that serve legitimate educational purposes, but after a thorough review of this graphic novel, we are at a loss for what educational purpose ‘Assassination Classroom’ could possibly serve.”

“This is a non-partisan issue,” Kristen Huber, Citizens Defending Freedom’s National Communications Director added. “We should all be able to agree that violence toward teachers and explicit sexual content is not something that schools should be glorifying or promoting, especially on taxpayer dollars.”

The cover of the book includes a Parental Advisory: “‘Assassination Classroom’ is rated T + for older teen and is recommended for ages 16 and up. It contains realistic violence and suggestive situations,” the outlet noted.

Middle schools in the United States typically consist of students ages 10-13.
