Wow, that’s a terribly bad faith presentation. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/possible-teach-in-at-oakland-schools-would-present-palestinian-perspective-to-students/

Here’s the lesson plan linked via the above article. It appears to teach what Senator Wiener claims about as much as the Florida book bans are about porn. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1yHuTs87SSfWaM6qeM6y3RXgEOzjiKF_c75fLMN-2fZk/mobilebasic#h.pg1gql1c1zfc

I’m so sick of people misrepresenting arguments and pretending to take the high road. [/quote]

The book literally says "I is for Intifada" - sorry, you think it's oversensitive thinking that might not be appropriate in schools right now? You think maybe Jewish students and parents might wish a different book were chosen to teach the alphabet?

This thread is a debate between people who trust teachers and librarians and those who are so concerned about various works that they want to take away those people's power to bring reading and lessons to kids. I'm as far from a Moms for Liberty person as you can be - and yet when a topic comes up that touches off my triggers, I start understanding why people get upset about the books that hit them where it hurts. Then I start thinking maybe the public SHOULD have more influence over what books are being taught to kids. I don't think I is for Intifada is appropriate for kids, for example.
