Thank you very much for posting that video. The commentary was politically neutral and well thought out.

It appears the supreme court came to the right conclusion here. What is shocking is that any Maryland public school actually believed these particular books were suitable for mandatory use in public education. And the “mandatory” part is the crux of the Court’s opinion.

That’s just it. MCPS ran headlong into actual diversity and tried to crush it. So much for inclusion and tolerance.

I'm not tolerant of bigotry and that should not be catered to in PUBLIC schools.

Likewise, I'm not tolerant of forcing complex adult concepts on my first grader.
