Minneapolis Public Schools Throwing Out Books Like The Nazis...
Minneapolis Public Schools defended throwing out bins of books, claiming they no longer met “the guidelines for highest-quality books for our students.” Parent Natalie Taylor was walking near Bryn Mawr Elementary School Wednesday when she spotted a mound of books — “piled high” — in the dumpster.
Bring Me the News reported “Where the Wild Things Are, Shel Silverstein works, educational books about nature and the outdoors” were found in the trash. The school district defended tossing them out.
“We know our kids deserve the best quality books … and these books did not meet the guidelines for highest-quality books for our students.” Julie Schultz Brown, executive director of marketing and communications for Minneapolis Public Schools, said to Bring Me the News that the school wanted to donate them to African children but “these Bryn Mawr books were not up to the donation standards.”
