[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but this is really poor journalism. Let’s be clear— the books were met with overwhelming support….from the LGBTQ+ community. Not the entire MCPS community despite the “robust” evaluation. This is a very sensitive topic for many. The article states those who disagree with this decision are living in fear, which just smacks of bias and ostracism (and yes, irony). People have a lot of different feelings about how this should be presented to children and that should have been respected if we are really going to be inclusive.[/quote]

The article says no such thing. The article quotes multiple people, including one person who says they "believe any backlash to MCPS’ efforts at school inclusivity is rooted in fear. 'The idea of opening people’s minds and perspectives is scary to some people,' she said. 'There’s a reason why books have always been banned.'"

Are you upset that the author didn't also talk to you? Then you should feel free to contact the author and tell them you'd be happy to talk to them on the record about your opposition to these books.
