What are your kids reading in school today?

You might want to make sure they aren’t reading this crap:

Sixth-graders at a Queens school were getting quite an education – in homosexuality, French kissing and cursing – thanks to three books widely available in classroom libraries.

But after numerous complaints from parents at Public School 150 in Sunnyside, the books – a profanity-laced poetry book, short stories about homosexuality and a novel called “First French Kiss” – were pulled from the shelves last week.

Several parents learned of the racy books after overhearing their kids snickering about the sexual themes.

The poem “I Hate School” in a book called “You Hear Me?” includes the rhyme, “F— this s—, up the a–. I don’t think I’ll ever pass.”

Another poem compares eating an orange to having sex, while several passages repeatedly use vulgar slang for genitalia. And the book “Am I Blue?” is an anthology of stories about gay teenagers that parents found too adult-themed for 11- and 12-year-olds.

Parent Gladys Martinez wrote a letter to her son’s teacher after hearing him talk about “First French Kiss,” which chronicles a teen’s bumbling first makeout session in a closet.

“F— this s—, up the a–. I don’t think I’ll ever pass.”

Reason #1,547,999 to keep your kids out of government schools…
