“Where’s the line, in your opinion, with how much of a say parents have when it comes to what their kids are learning in school? Is there a balance between, you know, ‘This book should be in the library, this book is under review…,’” Sheinell Jones asked First Lady Biden in September during an interview on the “Today Show.”
“All books should be in the library. All books. This is America. We don’t ban books,” she said.
President Biden recently reiterated his support for allowing all books into the classroom and library.
LOL:
Washington, D.C. residents, including students, can soon read a book by Tara Reade, who has accused the president of sexually assaulting her.
“I was asked to respond to your inquiry about Tara Reade’s book Left Out: When the Truth Doesn’t Fit In,” a D.C. Public Library staffer wrote to me on Wednesday. “I was able to find it listed in one of our vendor’s ordering databases, so [I] have placed an order for this title.”
The purchase finalizes a quest that began in September 2022 when I first sought to see if the D.C. library would expand its offerings, given First Lady Jill Biden’s statement that “all books” belong in libraries.
