IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THIS BOOK EXISTS. IT’S HARDER TO BELIEVE IT WAS ASSIGNED TO A COLLEGE CLASS.

A California professor at a public university is defending his decision to assign a book titled “The Baby Jesus Butt Plug” to his literature class last week.

Professor Jordan Smith at California State University, Long Beach confirmed to TheBlaze in an email that he assigned the 104-page book to his Comic Spirit class after a student suggested they read it.

“I assigned a reader of Bizarro Fiction, a new genre of surreal gross-out literature in the United States–I didn’t assign this story in the usual top-down manner of university classes: this was a democratic choice,” he said, adding that the “students selected it in a class vote.”

According to online bookseller Amazon, the book asks readers to “step into a dark and absurd world.”
