Letters to Editor Week of Nov. 8

Let our educators choose books for children

To the Editor:

Discussion about books in our schools is unsettling.

Back in 1988,  when we were buying our second home in Lewisboro, we heard that taxes were lower in Ridgefield. So we looked for a home there. In the process, our realtor mentioned that the schools were “restricting” certain books. That was the end of our search for a house in Ridgefield; we said “No way!” 

Like many of you, we live in Lewisboro because of the fine school system. Let’s make sure it stays that way. Let’s let our educators, with their vast expertise and knowledge of early childhood education, select the books that our children read. And let’s make sure our schools are a reflection of who WE are — a community who cherishes diversity and champions ALL our children, especially the most vulnerable.
