@npr.org shared my TikTok about what Scholastic is doing in regards to having diverse books at their book fairs. Despite their statement of what they included, my experience was different. Scholastic needs to take a stand against censorship, not cater to it! Please watch and share!

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Are you a kidlit book author or illustrator who enjoys connecting w/schools & libraries? Pls REPLY TO THIS POST, including link to where educators/librarians can find out more info about you & your books. If you do school visits, also mention. I also advise including an image (book cover? etc).
