Scholastic backtracks, saying it will stop separating diverse books for fairs in 2024.
Scholastic is reversing course, saying it will no longer separate diverse stories for schoolbook fairs after weeks of mounting backlash from educators and authors.
The educational company, which both publishes and distributes books, waded into hot water last month after it confirmed that it was changing its policy for its middle school book fair offerings.
It said it was putting most of the titles dealing with race, gender and sexuality into their own collection, and allowing schools to decide whether to order it, as they would with any display.

Rated Books
Know Before you read!
Unlike books' much younger cousins in the media family - movies, television programs, music, and video games - books remain unrated. This didn't used to be an issue, but graphic and explicit content and materials have made their way into books that sit on public school shelves. Even elementary schools have been found to contain extremely graphic content.
To protect our children from this obscenity in public school libraries, where parents are not notified and cannot be present to help their children choose wisely, we have begun reading and rating books. Our ratings provide page numbers and quotes. The page numbers may vary depending on which version of the books was read and whether it was in print or digital.
Nevertheless we present the evidence so that parents and schools may choose wisely, and choose to protect our vulnerable youth from the addictive stimulant, pornography as well as all other materials that are harmful to minors.

Schools across Texas are dropping Scholastic Book Fairs
Parents - Encourage Your State to do the same!
Published by Texas Scorecard - 12/11/2023
New family-friendly alternatives are now available.
Schools across Texas are dropping Scholastic Book Fairs over the company’s “woke” agenda and are choosing more family-friendly competitors.
The newest entrant into the market, SkyTree Book Fairs, was created “as an alternative to the sexually explicit content distributed in Scholastic’s book fairs.”
Scholastic is the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books and has dominated the in-school book fair market for decades.
Over the past several years, Scholastic executives have intentionally pushed books that expose children to sexual content and promote the left’s “LGBTQ” ideology.
In turn, parents concerned about their students’ exposure to age-inappropriate content have pushed school officials to change book fair vendors.

Different Perspectives?
Written By Thomas Hampson | 10.18.23
Governor J.B. Pritzker thinks we need the government’s thumb on the scales to ensure an open exchange of views. He recently praised the passage of HB 2789, which he signed into law this past June. He said: “Illinois became the first state in the nation to ban book bans earlier this year. 2022 had the most attempted book bans on record for the ALA. It was time for us to act.
