Why? Whitewash black history out of American history. Next whitewash black people out of America.

C'mon. This was a Pennsylvania school board, not a Florida one. It happened in September, 2021, and the board reversed the ban less than a week later.

Edit: sorry, I had that wrong. The action was taken in 2020 and rescinded in 2021.

I'm pretty sure we have plenty to be outraged about without stuff like this.

Sure nothing for people who look like me have to worry about...

“You have an all-white school board and nearly every banned book is written by or about a person of color,”

I feel SO much better that this wasn't actually in Florida. :rolleyes:


EDIT: I had assumed it was obvious BUT just in case! ;)
