The meeting minutes seem to paint a very, very different picture than the article. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1818370/Called_Meeting_Minutes_1-10-22.pdf https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_... This has nothing to do with ideology, the story or the meaning of the book. It's just a bunch of educators and parents quibbling over how much swearing in a book for 8th graders is too much, the message that sends, etc, etc. If anything the in depth quibbling and discussion of potential replacement books makes these people look more competent because it's clear that they're considering it from many angles. I disagree with them and think they care way to much about something that doesn't matter but the point here is that the article's description and most of the comments around here seem far less than honest when compared to the minutes. This is a bunch of self important educators banning a book over stuff that doesn't matter, not a bunch of ideologues banning a book because they don't like the message.
