A Canadian public high school has sparked outrage for removing all books published before 2008 in a so-called push to make its library more inclusive for students.
Erindale Secondary School in Mississauga, Ontario culled roughly 50% of its library books — including the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series — under a new “equity-based book weeding” directive implemented by the Peel District School Board earlier this year, CBC News reported.
“This year, I came into my school library and there are rows and rows of empty shelves with absolutely no books,” 10th grader, Reina Takata, said.
When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox
and now each time a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.
Perhaps there is a way you can remove me from that service?
Kudos!
