Daily News | Central Bucks is set vote Tuesday night on a policy targeting ‘sexualized content’ in library books, as civil rights groups plan to protest
— said in an interview Monday that the intent is not to remove books from school libraries but to create a process for the selection of new materials
That committee, Lucabaugh said, “would be large enough to be inclusive of multiple perspectives,” and would “eliminate the potential for any decisions to be made in isolation.” He said that school board members would not be directly involved in the selection or removal of books.the policy was introduced because the school district — Pennsylvania’s third-largest — did not have one in place.
“School should be a marketplace of ideas for students to explore,” Ting said. “And we’re also talking about library books, …not required reading for classwork. This is just books in the library that are there for students, and students should be free to choose what they read. Families should be able to discuss those things with their kids, as well. It shouldn’t be up to a few people … to decide what everyone else gets access to.
