Is there a reason we don't trust the teachers to make that call? I imagine there are a near infinite number of books that have "no classroom merit", do we need to spell them all out? It's also hard to square "it just doesn't provide any benefit in the classroom" with this quote from the board president: > What we are attempting to do is balance legitimate academic freedom with what could be literature/materials that are too activist in nature, and may lean more toward indoctrination rather than age-appropriate academic content. That sure seems to suggest someone thought a group of girls bonding in coding club was "too activist".
