Reply to comment by BlackWidowLooks in Mad about book bans in school libraries? Philadelphia has a solution - no libraries at all! Only 7/217 schools have libraries for their kids. by youngbuck215

Thanks for sharing. I wasn’t aware of much of that. I was a child in the 80s, so no Boolean operators for me, sadly.

At the root of my initial shrugging was a sense that a library is almost besides the point when it comes to public schools, to go by my father’s decades of tales as a grade school teacher in the district. Seems precious little learning happens there.

Well, your dad is wrong! He should have visited the library more.

The horror stories go on for ages. He’s worked in several schools over the years and it got to where I told him to stop telling me the stories because of how depressing they were.
