The Cape Henlopen School District is feeling the heat (it seems) over their decision to remove one book -- The Miseducation of Cameron Post--from their summer reading list, so
they decided to abolish the reading list all together. It wasn't enough that they banned the first book without even reading it (they googled it and saw the controversy-- gasp) OR even talking to the teachers' group that put the book on the list. And as far as I can tell, they took this decision to abolish the summer reading list again without talking to a single soul responsible for curriculum. If I'm a parent in this District, I'm making the replacement of this entire school board crew a priority. Because they are pretty clearly incompetent. Apparently this move is meant to avoid actions by the ACLU, but certainly isn't about helping students maintain some learning readiness.
