There are renewed calls for school leaders to make a list of 176 books available to students, which are under review to check their content.
The discussion was rekindled during Tuesday night’s Duval County School Board meeting.
“Together, we urge you to return all 176 book titles purchased as part of the Essential Voices Collection to classroom libraries and request that you commit publicly to a timeline and process for reviewing the Collection.” “Nya’s Long Walk” is also on the list, based on the true story of a south Sudanese girl’s struggle to find clean drinking water. It’s the picture book companion to “A Long Walk to Water,” a New York Times bestseller and Newberry Medal winner.
The District told News4JAX in September that the decision to pull those books from shelves for review was not prompted by any parent complaints. The decision was made in the lead up to new state laws that govern how race, as well as sexual orientation and gender identity, are discussed in schools.
