The Central Bucks school board has passed a controversial book screening policy, 6-3. While some were thrilled it passed, others were angry. KerriCorrado reports
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — Protestors were loud and their message was clear. They wanted a controversial book screening policy voted down in Bucks County.
“Despite the turnout of people opposing the library policy, please know most CBSD parents are appreciative of you all looking out for their children and protecting them,” one woman said. Before the school board meeting, those against the policy held a rally out front. They chanted, held signs, and talked about how books impacted their lives and how students should be able to choose.
The district is saying it’s not a ban, but some people are saying it’s violating students’ first amendment rights. “Just because a book is challenged doesn’t necessarily mean that that book will end up being removed,” Lucabaugh said. “We have not had any formal challenges placed by any parent to date.”
“The Education Law Center continues to assert that Central Bucks proposed policies 109, 109.1, and 109.2 that will be voted on tonight are inappropriate and unconstitutional in numerous ways.
