It is not just for elementary schools, the libraries of secondary schools will be "examined" as well. [1]
I think we all know what this kind of initiative means in the context of the current cultural trend of cheering for censorship: To Kill A Mockingbird is out, and Ibram Xolani Kendi is in.

- makeitdouble 5y agoSure, this could be part of a bigger trend. Or not. There seems to be no information on the details of their "examining" nor even their exact criteria. We could argue we should react before harmful actions are taken, but in this specific context there is nothing provided to decide if it's harmful or not (saying libraries should never be examined doesn't seem reasonable either). > To Kill A Mockingbird is out, and Ibram Xolani Kendi is in I don't have any specific love for "To Kill A Mockingbird", why its getting out is an ominous thing ?
