It's an issue celebrating diversity and the author's upset that there aren't more white boys depicted?

Hard to imagine being so addicted to outrage.

So much has been ceded to the PC and woke culture I think it unwise not to call this out on everything now.

This is a lot like Parents Magazine erasing fathers from their covers.

No, it's the flyer sent home with the kids, not one issue out of many.

Everything in the educational industry is like this now. Only ignorant or dishonest people deny and/or defend this.

I don't buy this "war on boys" for a minute. If the school system was deliberately hurting boys, men would mobilize and defend their sons.

Right men?

Men?

Scholastic put out some excellent books before they succumbed to wokeness. Six decades ago, I thoroughly enjoyed a science fiction thriller, The Secret Under the Sea (New York: Scholastic, 1960) by Gordon Dickson.

I'm guessing, from a parental perspective, the only youth groups for boys that hasn't gone woke, gone broke, is DeMolay for boys. And the supporting adult organization of Freemasons is still in decline.

Any other organizations for boys as an alternate to joining gangs? (except Glee Club)?

The document is totally representative of the white percentage of the population—after the leftists finish with their genocide.

:-(

Throw any material sent home from school into the garbage. Just go back to the books you read. Introduce them to your children and grandchildren. I loved Freddy the Pig books. Little known but good. I enjoyed Civil War books. Good for learning about America. Jack London,Mark Twain etc. Ignore the schools and guide you children to learning.

It's dated Winter/Spring.

Sure looks like a routine edition to me.

So when men try to defend themselves and their children by raising this issue your response is, it is not an issue because those men are not mobilizing to defend their children.

I fought the school system for 15 years raising 3 children, they absolutely were hurting my children. I moved them around in a better school when I could force their hand and homeschooled when no other option was available.

One incident one of my boys was held at knifepoint at his throat in middle school on a bus. The principle tried to protect the “disadvantaged child” who did it, guess what his race was, actual guess both their race.

I have very much been forced to take and have taken action.

Its like this everywhere.

I am a voracious reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Every day, I check the new releases. Obviously I have to filter this pretty heavily. “Strong” and “diverse” female characters, homosexuality, harems and other crap is way too prevalent. The good news is that it makes filtering much easier and faster. The bad news is there is less and less worth even bothering to check.

***I don’t buy this “war on boys” for a minute.***

It is real and it began when Bobby Kennedy was murdered in 1968. In the hysteria that followed that murder there was a plan to “de-violence” and feminize boys to make them less boy and more girly men.

When I was a kid three of my favorite books came from Scholastic books: Flying Aces of WW1, Up Periscope! and Secret Sea.
This is pretty sad.

I could see this trend over 15 years ago.
Just looking at the advertising posters inside a Target Store.
Since then, about 90% Back To School Ads feature girls only.

Any ‘Diversity’ is usually divided up between black and latino children. Sometimes asian kids are shown. Rarely are white boys depicted. When they are, they usually are not surrounded by many friends. Sometimes, their faces are obscured by girls or minority students.

This kind of contrived and slanted advertising effects all boys, regardless of race.
If the average boy didn’t know any better, he would think only girls get excited about going back to school.
He may even think he wasn’t wanted there in the first place.
That means it is up to the boys’ family to assure him that school is for all children.
