They could have at least made this “controversial” collection of books opt-out instead of opt-in.
Opt in makes it less likely a teacher orders it by accident. And they called it things like “stories of inclusivity”. It’s pretty on the nose that they support these books and are calling out those who wouldn’t as being “uninclusive”.
