EDUCATION ISSUES: CONTROVERSY SIMMERS OVER BEDFORD TEACHERS BOOK READ

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Controversy Simmers Over Bedford Teachers Book Read--An annual community read in Bedford turned controversial last week after some residents believed that the school district pulled its support for the event due to complaints over one of the featured books.

Fox Reads, a voluntary event organized by the Bedford Teachers Association (BTA), drew the ire of some parents who were critical over the inclusion of “The Poet X,” a critically-acclaimed novel by Elizabeth Acevedo, in the read. The book is on the district’s recommended reading list for high school students but is not assigned. It is a coming-of-age story and includes passages where sexual feelings are expressed.

Gender ideology has broken the media and their so-called 'experts' By Zachary Faria

One thing that gender ideology has exposed is that many members of our media and their scientific “experts” do not deserve the credibility their titles typically give them.

Take Maggie Mertens’s piece in the Atlantic calling for an end to gender-segregated school sports — which, in practical terms, means an end to women's sports. Mertens writes that “though sex differences in sports show advantages for men, researchers today still don’t know how much of this to attribute to biological difference versus the lack of support provided to women athletes to reach their highest potential.” READ MORE AT Gender ideology has broken the media and their so-called 'experts' (washingtonexaminer.com)
