Scholastic MESSED UP
Recently, Scholastic decided to remove "diverse" books from their regular book fair selection. They offered a supplemental selection for teachers and librarians to opt in to. A couple of people who did reported that these books didn't arrive until the last day of the fair, meaning most kids had no chance to see them.
Nearly all books with people of color or even BY authors who were not white, were separate into the special collection.
@tyghebright Wow. Unbelievable how fast we've been shoved backwards. Never underestimate the drive of frightened white men.
And frightened white women! Don't let this demographic off the hook. There are a lot of Karens out there who think they'll get hegemony points for supporting an ideology that harms them, too.
(So long as someone *else* is harmed more, it's all okay!)
