Why Chosen
I teach future school librarians and intellectual freedom is foundational to that work. We are experiencing unprecedented attacks on freedom of information and freedom of access in K-12 school libraries, in the early 2020's, and this book is on the American Library Association's list of most challenged books. We need copies of these difficult materials to stay available to our students, for discussions in safe places, so that when they are faced with professionally defending them, they are ready.
