📰 News we're reading

• Suffield Schools Adopt New Rules For Book Challenges (patch.com) — Suffield's Board of Education has unanimously approved new policies that spell out how school library books, displays, and programs can be challenged and reviewed. The rules keep materials available during review, require a diverse committee to read challenged books fully, and prevent removal solely because someone finds content offensive, focusing instead on educational criteria and clear appeal rights.
