And a lot of them are doubling down on it by indicating that black and Hispanic children should only have to read "culturally relevant" literature - most of which was written in the last 50 years, is at the 5th grade lexile level, and is little more than a litany of complaints about all the bad things that have happened in their lives.
When I used to frequent mega bookstores a few years back, I would check out what interesting people were reading by watching which book sections they stopped to browse in. At that time I observed that the overwhelming majority of black people would stop in the black interest section of the bookstore. This is just a statement of fact, or an observation. It is like that was their main interest. Of course there were exceptions.
Yep. I’ve seen it too, that sort of ... echo chamber mentality. Of course, there are exceptions, but... they’re called exceptions for a reason.
