From NPR: “The book ban movement has taken its toll on a beloved school tradition: Scholastic Book Fairs. The organization received criticism for separating most of its books on race and gender in different displays and allowing schools to opt out of ordering them.”
We looked forward to these events every year. It was a good way to get kids who were not used to going to the library to experience the wonder of books. This is very sad news along with harassment of librarians and the volunteers who work at libraries. I could make a few sarcastic remarks about the “people” who cause this, but I am just too sad.
The Bag Lady 
I do not understand how any of these propose a problem: “The case includes some 30 books, ranging from The ABCs of Black History to biographies of Rep. John Lewis, Ruby Bridges and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. There are picture books and graphic novels by poet Amanda Gorman, civil rights activist and football player Colin Kaepernick, and Jojo Siwa, a dancer and internet personality who came out as gay in 2021. A book based on the PBS animated show Alma’s Way features a Puerto Rican family hunting for a kid’s missing tooth.”
