![]() ![]() So it’s not even just about removing Out of Darkness from the library. And that’s kind of the goal here is to chill discourse and intimidate teachers and librarians. I’m going to teach the most unobjectionable thing. If I, as an English teacher, was afraid that one parent complaining would mean that all the books I was teaching were going to be removed, then what am I going to teach? I’m not going to teach the thing that’s challenging and controversial in some way. Districts have these policies for a reason. And unfortunately, in these challenges that are happening all over the country, we’re seeing that over and over. Their policy was that they might review a book, but during that time, the book would remain on the shelves. You pointed out too that what the district did here-because this woman did win, and the book got taken off the shelves-violated their own policy. ![]()
