Willing to bet the woman in the Rambles that called police on the bird watcher was raised by “woke parents.” Will your child go to public schools that are integrated? Kinda don’t know if that is possible in your city? Might be more important than controlling em’s reading?
I got no biz telling you about parenting, but think the best think to do is crash segregation so em knows black people beyond books.

Her preschool is pretty diverse and half Spanish speaking. If she ever gets to go back. And we’ve got three black kids and one black adult on our block.
Nonetheless, we’re in a pretty white part of the city (you may have heard we’re rather segregated) and the public schools she’s headed to are about 70% white, I think. The school board is looking at changes that will increase overall diversity, but I don’t think it’s going to change much in her schools.
