'Empty shelves with absolutely no books': Students, parents question school board's library weeding process

Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Those are all examples of books Reina Takata says she can no longer find in her public high school library in Mississauga, Ont., which she visits on her lunch hour most days.

In May, Takata says the shelves at Erindale Secondary School were full of books, but she noticed that they had gradually started to disappear. When she returned to school this fall, things were more stark.

"This year, I came into my school library and there are rows and rows of empty shelves with absolutely no books," said Takata, who started Grade 10 last week.

She estimates more than 50 per cent of her school's library books are gone.

In the spring, Takata says students were told by staff that "if the shelves look emptier right now it's because we have to remove all books [published] prior to 2008."

Takata is one of several Peel District School Board (PDSB) students, parents and community members CBC Toronto spoke to who are concerned about a seemingly inconsistent approach to a new equity-based book weeding process implemented by the board last spring in response to a provincial directive from the Minister of Education.

They say the new process, intended to ensure library books are inclusive, appears to have led some schools to remove thousands of books solely because they were published in 2008 or earlier.

Parents and students are looking for answers as to why this happened, and what the board plans to do moving forward.

Prior to publication, neither Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce's office, nor the Education Ministry, would comment on PDSB's implementation of Lecce's directive when contacted by CBC Toronto.

But in a statement Wednesday, the education minister said he has written to the board to immediately end this practice.

"Ontario is committed to ensuring that the addition of new books better reflects the rich diversity of our communities," said Lecce.

"It is offensive, illogical and counterintuitive to remove books from years past that educate students on Canada's history, antisemitism or celebrated literary classics."

As I said biker, there is a whole world out there and you are fixated on a small part of it.
I guess that is why we are all communist.

Of course not. Its simply their usual misrepresentation and obfuscation of the facts. Not allowing certain material in school Libraries or maintaining age appropriate standards in their minds equals "ZOMG THEY ARE BURNING BOOKS!!!!!!!1" Nevermind that those books can be purchased in any bookstore.

So, you admit that this is a real thing? Banning books?

Yet, you can't help yourself from frantically diving into Qanon conspiracies to try to desperately link something wrong with Joe Biden?

You're learning..... maybe.

Parents, school districts and governments fighting back against inappropriate material in school libraries is of course "a real thing". Just like how many people you support encourage sexually explicit material to be available for all ages or that sexually suggestive drag shows aimed at kids are totally normal. Both are "real things".
Qanon is for retards. You think Shit Shows problems are a conspiracy? Holy fuck.

I trust educators to know better than politically fueled morons and the muppet parents that believe them. You're in that boat by the way.

Where was your "inappropriate" outcry 5 years ago? 10 years ago?

GTFOH with your issues of convenience.
