A Message from Scholastic on U.S. Book Fairs
(mediaroom.scholastic.com)
Community dedicated to discussion of banned and challenged books.
Please follow this instances rules.
Opt in makes it less likely a teacher orders it by accident. And they called it things like "stories of inclusivity". It's pretty on the nose that they support these books and are calling out those who wouldn't as being "uninclusive".

Just because they're outraged doesn't make them right. Idiots get outraged all the time about things they don't understand. Ask yourself, who is legislating these changes? It's not Scholastic. So why are you acting like they're the ones pushing for this? And ignoring that they didn't call them "banned naughty books". They're called "books on inclusivity". You just want to be outraged instead of thinking it through. Pretty sad on a community about books.
Did you read the article further than the title? It's just a bunch of quotes from people going through the new process. The title is egregious but the content is helpful in understanding why teachers/school admin are frustrated.
