    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.

      The Washington Post also reported that the majority of book complaints are filed by just 11 people nationwide.
