In 2023, schools in Peel District, Ontario Canada were instructed to pull all books written prior to 2008 off the shelf and assess if each one was compatible with the current curriculum before replacing. School librarians deemed this too onerous a task so just pulled them all off the shelf and sent to landfill. Public outcry, the school district replied that the mandate was “misinterpreted” and Ann Frank’s Diary “may” be replaced if “a more current version can be found”. No word on 1984-pretty sure that’s gone for good. Pornographic teen books written after 2008, too vulgar to read out loud at a school board mtg are fine to stay. Our children need us parents to teach them about propaganda and mind control techniques because they are not going to learn this in school.
