MASSIE, KY – A firestorm erupted at Massie Primary School on Tuesday after a parent claims she was “aggressively escorted” from the building for reading a children’s book about farming to her son during lunch.

“I was standing in the cafeteria reading Tractor Mac: Harvest Time to my own child,” said local mother Brenda Tolliver, 34. “Next thing I know, a ‘wellness coordinator’ is telling me I’m causing a ‘dysregulated environment.’ I’m causing dysregulation? The only thing dysregulated here is common sense.”

According to Tolliver, the mother was told that audio amplification was prohibited and that any “unscheduled narrative input” must be pre-approved by the school’s emotional-safety committee.

Local resident Steve Givens had a simple take, commenting, “We’ve got kids who can’t read above a third-grade level, but God forbid a mama reads a book about a combine harvester without a signed permission slip. We’re so busy fixing problems that don’t exist, we’re breaking the good stuff.”

The district released a statement saying the policy is meant to “preserve a calm, equitable lunch experience for all students.” The parent has reportedly been given a “Reintegration Plan” which must be completed before she can “audit” lunch again.

Reactions online were swift:

• “First they came for the four-legged friends, now they’re coming for the four-wheeled tractors. Absolute lunacy.”
• “Reading to your kid is a ‘narrative input’? My child’s biggest narrative input this week was a 6-inch gummy worm. I think we’ll survive Brenda’s farming facts.”
• “Massie Primary has officially banned agriculture. I bet they still serve chicken nuggets, though.”
