And removing all other curriculum from the classroom and for youth to witness the removal of their opportunities to knowledge is openly admitting Intellectual Apartheid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-58078734789643014352012-01-17T11:20:43.414-06:002012-01-17T11:20:43.414-06:00This is like Celsius 212.7777777777778.This is like Celsius 212.7777777777778.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-7642627727437877092012-01-16T19:12:33.933-06:002012-01-16T19:12:33.933-06:00Doesn't it seem that that is exactly the poin...Doesn't it seem that that is exactly the point of these actions? -- all across the nation, policymakers pretend to support good ideas, but act in ways that doom the programs to fail. <br />As we went through the book list, my husband commented, "Fahrenheit 451."Jean Mendozanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-89281056643352648482012-01-16T11:14:31.387-06:002012-01-16T11:14:31.387-06:00As a k-12 librarian in a reservation school, I wou...As a k-12 librarian in a reservation school, I would include the books in this list in my libraries, but I differ on which libraries some of the titles belong in. There were two titles in the 5-6 level that are taught at our 7-8 grade level. They would be in our high school (7-12) library. Basically, our k-6 students don't have access to books written for adults in their library, though they can request books from the high school library. I could see how a school district could look at those age recommendations, and use that as an excuse to remove books, but I don't think these people are lodging their true complaints, they are just looking for an excuse to remove books. It's sad to see such blatant hatred legislated. Poor educators: Legislated to improve the success rates of Mexican Americans in their schools, but also legislated not to use a program that has proven to be effective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
