Mayor Frealing is listed as a Democrat. She has changed parties and is running as a Republican. Who else is representing themselves as something they are not?
Yes. The majority of the current school board directors at Bermudian Springs voted last year to change Policy 109. Every school district has a Policy 109, which deals with what kinds of books can and cannot be in the library. Previously, if a book had mature or controversial themes, parents could choose whether or not their kid could check out the book from the school library. In the new Policy 109, parents no longer have that option. Instead, any book that is deemed inappropriate by the school board can be removed from the library. The updated policy also broadens the definition of what is inappropriate so much that virtually any book can be labeled as such. This is a similar tactic that the Central York School Board used before implementing their book ban that gained national attention just a few years ago.
Thank you!
