Children’s book giant Scholastic has already caved to the book-banners by segregating diverse titles into an “additional collection” that schools planning book fairs can opt out of. But showing weakness never makes a bully go away, and it didn’t this time, either.
Scholastic and its books came under a vicious, bigoted attack in a 16-page document attributed to Moms for Liberty and promoting frequent Moms for Liberty partner BRAVE Books, which is trying to set itself up as the right-wing alternative to Scholastic. This stuff is ugly.
