Why? My high-school library had a large selection of books with controversial topics. Should we remove "Catcher in the Rye" or "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "Huckleberry Finn"?
They purged those in some places already. This is also middle school. Fantasies of rape for a 12 year old? let me pass.
My 8 year old got "Our House on Fire"(the Gretta story) as the holidays reading. It is a hilarious fear porn with multiple bullshit claims. Idea is to scare, make the kid feel anxiety and get them to do "something". Reminded me of the old posters in USSR, What did you do for the 5 year plan???!! In some ways I am glad I can start working with her on recognizing this shit early, never though I would need to after I immigrated in my teens here... but here we are.
I wonder if she will bring a rewrite of Pavlik Morozov and COVID for summer light reading.
