Despite objections from teachers, parents, staff and a threat from the ACLU, the Central Bucks School District in Pennsylvania will move ahead with a controversial library policy giving residents the ability to challenge books available in schools.
Zaebst said the policy appears to be vague"by design" to give school leaders broad reach and raised concerns that the policy will target books focused on marginalized communities.
In May, the district directed staff to remove Pride flags they may have on display and eighth-grade teacher Andrew Burgess was allegedly suspended from Lenape Middle School for giving a bullied transgender student information on harassment resources outside of the district.
