When her 10th graders arrived for their first day on Friday, they were greeted by red paper signs announcing the “books the state doesn’t want you to read,” accompanied by a QR code for the Brooklyn Public Library sign-up page. Wes Moody, a spokesperson for the school district, confirmed the investigation into Boismier, which he said was sparked by a parent complaint. He said the new state law pushed the district to put “renewed emphasis on ensuring our teachers and staff have reviewed their classroom resources to ensure all materials are age and content appropriate.”
