    Interesting. Could be some left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing stuff. I don’t want to imply malicious intent when blantent incompetence is just as likely. If this book was approved, but accidentally left off the official curriculum, then the teacher should obviously get their job back.

      Why the fuck do books need to be approved? Is that a common thing in the US?

      In Canada, I’ve never checked a text with my principal before assigning it.

      The curriculum does not list approved resources; teachers are professionals who are trained to select appropriate materials to cover the material.

        Well, no. A core curriculum is approved for each grade. Now I don’t know if it’s so specific that it’s broken down to every book. I would definitely like to get some more details on this particular situation. This book banning thing is getting out of hand.
