This is what happens when white parents over react to some made up CRt supposedly being taught
The school bans all books that mention black or brown people.
For example the following were banned... yes schools banning books like good nazis..
Picture books Fry Bread: A Native American Story by Kevin Noble Maillard
I Am Rosa Parks by Brad Meltzer
Malala's Magic Pencil by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai
They Called Us Enemy, George Takei's graphic memoir about Japanese internment.
In case you are wondering what the mostly whie parents think:
York parent Matt Weyant commended the school board for implementing the ban.
"I don't want my daughter growing up feeling guilty because she's White," he said.
Brad Meltzer, a New York Times best-selling author and creator of the "I Am" series that follows ordinary people who changed the world, is the writer of at least two books banned by the school board. Both his I Am Martin Luther King, Jr. and I Am Rosa Parks books are not permitted in the school.
So reading about Rosa Parks and brown girl Malala is going to make your daughter feel bad because she is white...
If white people feel guilty because their kids are simply learning about black and brown people then they need to see a shrink and deal with that shit themselves. Whitewashing history is not the answer.
Not surprising this is the only county that really made a stink and it is 60% trump voting country. Their answer was to ban all books on black or brown people even though CRT is not taught or discussed in the curriculum at all.

Let me say I saw this article about banning books in this Pennsylvania school district and I believe the school board was idiotic for banning these particular books. At least they reversed their decision quickly after community outcry. These books are part of a diverse history education -- they are not CRT curriculum .
If the books (not these books) were part of an "equity" curriculum which belittled and demeaned children on the basis of race then it would be a different situation.
I support a diverse education of history in schools on a factual basis including all the negative points and social issues around race. This is very different than a CRT curriculum which demeans and belittles children on the basis of race.
Also -- I will note there is a similar situation with book banning in context of "CRT" going on in a Tennessee school district.
