The US is such a racist country, that a lot of US people don't even realize how horrific this is. 🤷🏿‍♂️

There are very few countries where having a choice between "a) normal" and "b) white supremacist approved" booklists would fly.

But here, it's just another Monday.

Scholastic recently came under fire for attempting to censor an author's synopsis of her book, Love in the Library. The publishing house had a problem with her use of the term, "virulent racism" about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
