The roots of the problem are not confined to Canada, where a school district recently canceled any books published before 2008.
Peel School District — located in Ontario, Canada, and bordering Toronto — is reportedly weeding books from its libraries with publication dates prior to 2008. The district’s school board has yet to respond specifically to parents’ and Ontario officials’ questions, raising concerns about the book-weeding’s effect on the students’ educations and the district’s approach to education in general.
