MENTOR, Ohio - The Mentor Board of Education will be facing a crowd Tuesday night as parents and community members are expected speak about removing two books available in two different school libraries.
Some of the child activists included are Greta Thunberg, Jazz Jennings and Malala Yousafzai, as featured on the author’s website. The book further encourages children to become activists for a variety of political purposes. It talks about immigration laws and the “fear and pain” that they can cause. Additionally, Middle Eastern conflict is highlighted with a reference to the Taliban and a young girl being shot by authorities. Greta Thunberg is mentioned along with climate change activism and pleads with the reader that, “Our world is dying. Our future is dying.”.
The retired teacher, who previously challenged The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, says the book depicts “multiple sex acts in graphic detail,” according to the release. The board members say this book is available at the high school library for students from ninth to twelfth grade.
