John we discovered these types of books in my children’s Catholic school library last year. Catholic school!! When many of us parents came together and addressed the issue (turns out there were many issues to address) it was a resounding success. The librarian was woke (not surprising) but the principal and administrators had no idea about the nature of the books or the ALA etc. it was quite a wake up call for them. We were able to have all the offending books removed and the Librarian was put on notice.
Jo: Kudos to you and the fellow parents who were paying attention! IMO we need to fix this from the top, as it makes no sense for 10,000± school districts to have a similar fight. My next commentary will be how the newly revamped Department of Education can fix this.
Parents must be aware and look over the books their children are reading in public school. There is a vast difference today in children who have gone to public schools; and the ones that are homeschooled. From what I have observed, homeschooled children are better mannered and far more intelligent.
