The often controversial issue of book bans and public school libraries will again go before the Mentor Board of Education this week as the school board is expected to vote on a formal challenge.
MENTOR, Ohio — The often controversial issue of book bans and public school libraries will again go before the Mentor Board of Education this week as the school board is expected to vote on a formal challenge to the book"Colin Kaepernick: From Free Agent to Change Agent" by author Eric Braun, which had been included in the fifth-grade reading libraries, according to school board documents.
Lyndsie Wall and Lauren Marchaza, both of whom have children enrolled in Mentor Public Schools, have frequently taken the mic during public comment to argue in favor of keeping certain titles on school library shelves. Eventually, their words became action.“When those titles started popping up and I started to see that they were books that so many people have read, that’s when the alarms went off for me,” Marchaza said.
In late April, Lobbyists for Citizens, a registered 501 non-profit organization, which by law does not have to disclose its donors, wrote a letter to the city prosecutors in Mentor and Mentor-on-the-Lake. The author of the letter, executive director Brian Massie, pitched the argument to city prosecutors Lisa Klammer and Joseph Gurley that the Mentor school district “may have books containing pornographic materials available to children.
Mentor Law Director Joseph Szeman said in an email: “The Mentor School District is a political subdivision distinct from the City of Mentor municipal government. I therefore do not as Mentor Law Director have any authority to provide it legal advice or counsel.” With no indications that the simmering debate over book bans will cease any time soon, Wall said she is deeply concerned about the message it is sending to the district’s students.
