I agree with Scholastic. As much as I am glad that Russians such as myself are not treated any differently in US today, racism was not the most direct cause of Japanese internment, Japan attacking US was. German and Italian Americans were also affected by EO 9066. It's fair to say that racism was one factor that contributed to meager public pushback and disproportionate practical impact on Japanese Americans. Claims that immigration enforcement, police shootings, voter ID laws or food deserts are the same as Japanese internment are unsubstantiated fabrications. Food deserts are part supply and demand due to unhealthy local tastes, part impracticality of running full supermarkets in high crime neighborhoods, part residents lacking time and money for cooking and part agricultural subsidies distorting prices. These issues are worth talking about, but it's not like anyone set out to make people obese based on race. All in all, I want my children to be taught based on facts and sound analysis, not words of people carrying a hammer and determined to see everything as a nail. If adults want to read other kinds of books or buy it for their own children, sure.
