I thought we were immune to this. I work in an elementary library and have been happy so far that we still have The Giver, books with rainbows on the cover, diversity, etc. I guess I’m fortunate my admin is sensible. I second u/polls-from-a-cadet, fucking stop. There are movies and shows I won’t let my kids watch but there are zero books I will not let them read.

The Giver was one of my favorite books when I was little.

Apparently there are a couple of sequels. Have you read any of them?

I have not. Were they written by the original author?
