There are now many teachers using Terminus to practice Linux, ranging from middle school to high school. But the content in Paperback Romance is inappropriate for this age group. Could it be adapted to be less distracting for immature readers (and less objectionable to stuffy administrators)?
paperback
Suggested alternative:
You flip the paperback open to a random page. "Oh, Horatio!" Antonia exclaimed in frustration. "Why can't you understand that I'm the hero in this story?" Horatio lunged towards her with his sword but Antonia and her dragon were - You close the book, disinterested, and place it back on the shelf.

(Pardon any mistakes in my english)

Simply switching the book with another one with others themes would be more relevant ?
(other title, other content e.g. PaperbackComic — You flip the paperback open a random page. "The bad guy was about to put a Cookie in BruteSea's mouth but BruteSea was too fast and put the Cookie back on the table. After an impressive onomatopoeia, he said «This Cookie is too sweet and that is too bad for my diabete. Just give me water my friend». You had the feeling you already know this story. You close the book and place it back on the shelf.. )

You'll probably have more success on the request forking the project and changing the text in the javascript source.
(the project is not so very active as you can see in issues list)

@luffah Thanks so much for your response. I like your suggestion to change the book theme and your example would work really well. BUT as a teacher, I don't have any experience with contributing to github projects so I'm not clear on what it would entail to fork the project and change the javascript source. Could you point me to some links so I can learn?
Also, if I did as you suggest, would that change the version that is published publicly?
Thanks :)

I submitted a pull request for an edited version of the Paperback Romance text. Hoping this project is active enough to accept contributions.
