Scholastic Book Fairs are a U.S. school staple, and now those schools can decide whether they want to include certain titles on race and sexuality.
The Scholastic Book Fair is a magical event for young readers, with pop-up displays filled with new and exciting titles giving students the chance to snag a book for keeps without even leaving school grounds.
This catalog of 64 books includes biographies about Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, books about desegregation, disability-positive titles and more. Recent challenges have largely focused on books involving race, gender and sexuality discussions, particularly in conservative legislatures.
