Professional race-baiter sez Franklin Township book banners would benefit from a study of tolerance and “courageous conversations about race”.
It had nothing to do with race. It had everything to do with parents believing (with good reason) that a book offered as part of the high-school curriculum contained age-inappropriate themes.
This is why nobody takes the NAACP seriously anymore. Most of us have grown past “diversity” into color-blind acceptance of people qua people. The diversity hawks are nothing more than the Perennially Indignant of whom P. J. O’Rourke so eloquently wrote.
We need to quit worrying about race and start worrying about people. Kids grow up so fast. Why force them to read this crap in high school? They’ll get it from their lefty English Lit. profs in college soon enough.

My favorite is the story of the (I believe) California school board that rejected a story because it had a winter theme. They feared the students wouldn’t “relate” to it. Maybe if it was a story of a grown man molesting a child in a snow-bound cabin, they would have been okay.
