So many groups gave Scholastic an easy pass when they said they'd no longer segregate their book fair cases. Scholastic made no commitment for next steps.
THIS ⬇️is what their displays look like! Not acceptable. No equity without Native authors & illustrators. #StepUpScholastic
@JackieWoodson @Scholastic Especially in these times, EVERY Scholastic catalog should prioritize books by/about people of color & LGBTQ+. #StepUpScholastic
(& they should speak up in support of teach fired in Georgia for reading book she purchased at her school's Scholastic Book Fair. So far, silence. ☹️)
This is the problem with having a "diverse" catalog in the first place. EVERY catalog should be diverse and inclusive. In the face of white supremacy, every booklist should uplift diversity and representation. #stepupscholastic
Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Outrageous demand of an author by @Scholastic.
Just when children need to understand more about systemic racism, Scholastic wants the word censored, joining lawmakers & publishers peddling white supremacy.
Read ⬇️Not the first time that we've said #StepUpScholastic #TeachTruth
We’re all #stepupScholastic, but the wide diversity (including intersections) in the Spring MG video is Wow! Congrats @lxgino, @kacencallender, @PamMunozRyan, @Kody_Keplinger, @DebbiMichiko, @getnicced, @Claribel_Ortega. These books are on fleek! 😘https://t.co/GruILum09D
Victory. #OutofPrint After thousands of letters from teachers, parents, and students across the U.S., @Scholastic has finally stopped printing their celebratory children’s books about Donald Trump that end with the outrageous poem below. #StepUpScholastic https://t.co/ENVrcUzyfk
Mira @Scholastic, why there isn't a Spanish edition of THE REVOLUTION OF EVELYN SERRANO by Sonia Manzano??? #StepUpScholastic #PuertoRicanKidLit #YoungLords #libroscombativos
Exhibit A: we can't get Spanish editions of DRUM DREAM GIRL. Not even its own author!!! #StepUpScholastic https://t.co/9voLuEZZ3f
@sujeilugo That would be wonderful, but it's a Scholastic Book Club edition, so I can't buy them. Only teachers have access.
Also, this monopoly that Scholastic has with Spanish editions of some #latinxkidlit and that they can only be acquired through them and schools.... hmmm #StepUpScholastic
Telling the story of Trump w/o mentioning the resistance/marches/advocacy for equality is omitting history. We’ve always supported @Scholastic books & book fairs. No more. Scholastic Tells Children: Trump is Great #stepupscholastic #trumpbook https://t.co/lcLaI2QYoo
We're asking again, @Scholastic: Why do you continue to publish and distribute two children's books that celebrate and lie (through omission) about Trump? #StepUpScholastic https://t.co/qbpNVG5YkJ
Scholastic's children's book on Trump's election has full page on Central Park about Trump & Wollman skating rink. No mention of his crusade against #CentralPark5. No ref. to racism at all by biggest pub. of kids books. #StepUpScholastic @WhenTheySeeUs https://t.co/AD2dFHiJ9Q
@flyingmonkey13 Yeah, but those "If you lived in the time of the underground railroad" books needed to go straight to recycling. That #stepupscholastic trash should not just shift from one class to another. You've got to enable your teachers to let go of texts that contribute to systemic bias
Not great! This is not great! #StepUpScholastic
"My classmates and I want to see main characters we can relate to. We are tired of always being shown as the sidekick, or not shown at all." #BookFairSoWhite

Read and share full thread below from 7th graders and librarian.
It's a thread! @Scholastic, my 7th graders have some WORDS for you about the #bookfair trailers you produced for the spring fair. #BookFairSoWhite 👇👇👇
There is a lot Telgemeier does exceptionally well. The representation of her own childhood as a White girl dealing with things like loosing her front teeth, or her parents marriage slowly imploding are great. But, ghosts is not. Please #stepupscholastic #diversityjedi .
So coming out next April 30, 2019 is SHARE YOUR SMILE: RAINA'S GUIDE TO TELLING YOUR OWN STORY by Raina Telgemeier. I'm all for letting children tell their stories, share their words, illustrations, voices. But after so much critical reviews of GHOSTS & it's misrepresentation...
@readitrealgood Yes, here are examples of how students have advocated for more literature by people of color in their school library & in Scholastic catalog. #StepUpScholastic https://t.co/5qAifKJZPO
@lynneedenise Still true for children all over the U.S. Which is why we wish they would recall their children's books celebrating Trump and diversify all their catalogs. #StepUpScholastic https://t.co/ENVrcUzyfk
On the @Scholastic elementary booklist, there are zero Native American authors or cover characters. Only 5% of book authors are Black. https://t.co/hVz8LjbTlO There is no excuse for this white supremacy in curriculum #StepUpScholastic #CurriculumSoWhite @CEJNYC
Mythologized history of colonial times given out at a school with #BHM bookmark. Book centers white supremacy for 7-10 yr olds. Biggest threat? Being "killed by Indians." Africans? Invisible until next to last pages. Read below & write #StepUpScholastic. https://t.co/u4xpZVN7pB
