Nicola Scholes said: "It's more offensive that children were dressed as American Sniper and James Bond, carrying guns"
A boy who dressed as a character from Fifty Shades of Grey was excluded from his school's World Book Day celebrations, according to his mother.
Liam Scholes, 11, went to Sale High School as Christian Grey from the explicit novel, wearing a grey suit and carrying cable ties and an eye mask.

The school was wrong to exclude Liam.

here we go again sex no, violence yes. But, is it really appropriate for an 11 year old to dress up as a BDSM aficionado? Maybe I should get out more....

(72,300 posts)4. To answer your question: No.
No sex. No violence. But unfortunately it's out there. All an 11 year old needs is to turn on the news to be exposed to both.
Again, no, you don't need to get out more.

Of course it's out there. I'm just stuck a bit in the old days and I'm not around kids.

The one where Cartman's mother dressed him as Hitler for Halloween?

I guess I'm a bad person.

I really doubt an 11 year old would pick 50 Shades of Grey for himself.
