A note from a writer/illustrator who was recently in San Antonio. Too bad people who should know better pass their own prejudices along to the kids they are intended to inspire. Norma Jean
"An elementary school in San Antonio is in the process of removing all their non-fiction books from their (relatively small) library. Students will be using internet only from now on. I noticed a few NF picture books still on the shelf, such as Kadir Nelson's "We Are the Ship," but science, bios, etc. are gone. Kaput."
