In PA, the state Supreme Court race will be extremely influential for book bans/challenges that come up. So will many other downballot races. Please, PLEASE show up to vote.
The election you should be focusing on takes place on Tuesday. You can probably vote for the school board, the library board, maybe sheriff, local officials and offices that shape your community. Do you have a plan to vote?

It was in fact a term white people used for themselves to describe like a southern midwest farmer person and was widely used, until Malcolm X single handedly in a single radio broadcast turned it into an insult and within a few years its daily use died out and we now have the Atlanta Braves instead

Also the idea of diverse books being something separate is problematic in itself. It skews the meaning of the word diverse.

This is appalling. Scholastic giving the option for schools to opt out of diverse books at book fairs. Diversity and inclusion should be part of education, not erasure and supremacy. Deeply concerning.
Strange to publish books and then help to prevent children from reading them

While Scholastic is a publisher their school book fairs sell cheap editions of books from many different childrens publishers. And in underserved communities are often the only way kids get to buy books.

Elon Musk embraced COVID minimization and misinformation because he wanted his California Tesla factories open.
It was never about individual liberty and free speech. Like other billionaires who also promote COVID misinformation, he just wanted workers generating profit and shareholder value.
