Re that dreadful decision in San Antonio: I will never forget how my son, in the second grade, brought home two or three biographies every week and devoured them. Granted that was a long time ago--but "everyone knows" that many kids love nonfiction! Books, real books that they can hold in their hands! To virtually wipe out nonfiction as interesting, important reading material and force kids to go to the shimmering screen is, indeed, a terrible disservice to the young generation. More than that, it's a crime.
