If you agree that the Brookfield Board of Education should review all current materials being used for assigned reading and if any materials appear on the American Library Association's List of 100 Most Controversial Books that these books go before an adhoc committee under the direction of the Board of Education, which includes parents and teachers, for careful examination and discussion of educational suitability.
As a concerned Brookfield CT resident, please sign.
The feedback I receive from parents remains heavy and it confirms to me that we are right to keep pushing for this review process. I have been spending my evenings preparing documents for our next interaction with the board members despite how exhausting this process feels.

Reaching this point has been a slow and heavy climb but the momentum is finally shifting. I am exhausted by the pushback yet fully committed to ensuring our schools reflect the standards we expect for our children.

Parents have a right to know what is being put in front of their kids. Just review the material already.

Keep our kids innocent as long as possible. The school library should be for learning age appropriate subjects.
