SARASOTA COUNTY (SNN TV) – The Sarasota County School Board will hear an appeal on the failed ban of an anti-racist book.
The Herald-Tribune reports the appeal is set for noon on Tuesday, February 7. The book is “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You” by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi.
A Venice Middle School Parent is appealing a previous challenge she filed to remove the book from Sarasota county libraries for students from 6th to 12th grade. The book is a #1 New York Times bestseller that explores racism and systemic racism in the U.S. A district review committee said the book was well-written and said it did not violate any state laws.
