Scholastic Book Fair Reverses Opt-In Diversity Decision
Scholastic Book Fair Reverses Opt-In Diversity Decision

You're viewing a single thread.
To clarify: the decision they just reversed was the one that took all of those good inclusive books OUT of the regular stock for Book Fairs and only sent them if you specifically opted IN to receive them.
They'll no longer segregate them but they will continue to carry them.
Thank you to the thousands of school librarians who tore into them for having cowed to the overly-vocal bigoted minority that is pushing book bans.

Bruh I have gotten far worse than that posting just basic information on Reddit… what is this world even?
Librarians know some fascist shit when they see it. They know you don't accommodate hate.
