[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just held a book fair with scholastic and this must have come out right after that..... I can't say I would work with scholastic again if this is how they are approaching introducing children to books..

Parents have every right to be upset or refused to let their children read a book. What they cannot do is refuse to let any parent let their children read that book

A lot of people seem to think that rights only apply to what they want and feel. [/quote]

This isn’t how Scholastic is “approaching introducing children to books”.  This is how Scholastic is RESPONDING to the new restrictions and laws that have been springing up in many communities.  Scholastic— and individual schools and teachers—  are just trying to avoid being sued. Scholastic has been around for decades. This change did not come at their behest.  Instead of blaming Scholastic, maybe blame people like that woman in Virginia who’s requesting bans for dozens of books that she hasn’t even fully read.  [/quote]
