Statement from SCforED - "SC for Ed supports age-appropriate literature that provides LGBTQ+ representation, particularly as we know this is one of our most vulnerable school-aged populations. It should be up to school librarians and classroom teachers to work with the community to decide what literature that should be. Further, any criteria designed for selection of a book should be evenly applied to all books. ... the focus should be on supporting all students in our school systems."
