A Dearborn, Michigan, mother read excerpts from the Mike Curato book 'Flamer' at an area school board meeting to raise awareness of explicit content in public schools.
The district enacted a book policy in October allowing parents to opt their children out of certain books, but parents argued that finding which books are inappropriate should not be their responsibility.
According to the press release, although"Flamer" was not a part of the list of challenged books, it will remain in libraries at the high school level.The district also took action to remove some books considered to be"inappropriate" for students. Two books removed from all district libraries were"Push" by Sapphire and"Red, White and Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston."Eleanor and Park" by Rainbow Rowell and Curato's"Flamer" were restricted to high school libraries.
"With roughly half a million books in our school libraries, we realize the likelihood that there could be a few books that were added over the years that parents and staff agree should not be there," Superintendent Dr. Glenn Maleyko said, according to the release.
