  So “review” now means “purge“?

    Oh, I wonder what could possibly happen based on the results of the initial review. Let's see: > District staff sent out a list of questions teachers have to answer, like — does a book encourage students to believe that people are racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously? [...] If teachers answer “yes” or “unsure” to any of the questions in the district’s guidance, the book is to be removed from the classroom for further review. Gee, would ya look at that

      “Further review” means purge? Since when?

  Countless districts have a de-facto ban on fascist books—and all of their books about racial politics likely lean the same ideological direction. I don't see how this is any different.
