It’s shocking to see how many books have been pulled from the classrooms, especially books that shouldn’t even be pulled. What’s really shocking is that most of the people who pull them aren’t even teachers or the education board they are mostly parents. Parents are like so controlling over what their child sees, hears, or reads. I know people have their own corky ways of doing things but when it comes to education parents should trust that teachers are doing their job or protecting their child from harm. The main reason why parents want to censor their children is because they have religious beliefs that don’t correspond to education beliefs and they don’t want what they say be contradicted at the school by a teacher or a book. And it’s really sad to see that they are “dummying down” the books by using shorter sentences and more simple words, which means low standards for children’s education.
