RM> What is not fine? The school banned ALL books in the school

I don't think this ever hit the news. I got it directly from my niece who
it happened to and all the teachers were complaining about it but the
principal had set the rules this way for the past 2 years. Finally someone
paid attention and that principal is gone now and they hope the next one
will be a little more reasonable.

I'll be honest, the first time she told me about it I thought it was
totally exaggerted as well, but after 2 years of hearing the same complaint
over and over again I feel there must be some truth to it.
When I suggested that I could see them making sure the books had some people
of colour in them she immediately said that would be fine but that wasn't
the case. It was a solid no whites allowed order.

If it makes any difference, the area she teaches in has more children of
colour than white kids. They are banning the Minority there..

RM> They are also teaching almost exclusively about LGBTQ++ to 5 and 6 year
RM> olds to the point where heterosexual kids may start to feel like they
RM> are wrong to feel the way they do. I can understand at that age teaching
RM> that Some families may have 2 mommies or 2 daddies..

ES>Curious how many classrooms you've sat in and seen this? I also think this is
  >mis-characterization. Alas.

As I said, I only got it directly from the teacher who was told what to say
and teach or face losing her job, and I know she has LGBTQ+ and non-white
friends so this is not someone exaggerating due to her own prejudices.
This is a long time teacher worried about censorship and distorted facts.
