[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]School librarians? The people who get a Masters in such a thing? Child literacy experts?[/quote]

Do you know how librarians choose books?  They choose them from the reviews.  Doubtful that the reviews include the graphic details.  Do you now what else?  Book companies have cozy relationships with librarians, too.

Christ on a bike are you seriously gonna start claiming that book companies are getting kickbacks from those hefty school library budgets?

Here’s the deal: you are ignorant and proud of it. You have no idea that there actually are subject matter experts in this (there are! https://www.slj.com/? https://www.hbook.com/ https://www.kirkusreviews.com/ The book you’re all obsessing over has high reviews and is actually a toned down version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Snowfish). You never bought or read books to your kids (unless they were on the iPad!). You think everything is dirty and about money so you assume that that’s the way the rest of the world works, too. It doesn’t. Some people genuinely want children to have access to good literature. [/quote]
The book in question 33 Snowfish has been problematic since it was published. It uses the "n-word" 55 times and sh!t over 150 times gratuitously. Mind you the author is White and privileged.[/quote]
