Scholastic Books won’t separate its books that celebrate diversity at book fairs after all. The children’s book publishing company announced that it was reversing course on a previous call to separate books dealing with race and gender into a collection that elementary schools could opt out of when hosting book fairs this week. The company said its Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice collection was meant to assist schools that wanted to host book fairs but were grappling with recent waves of legislation that limit how gender and identity are taught in classrooms. Critics said the partitioned collection pandered to extreme-right “anti-woke” culture and set a dangerous precedent.
