Kashif Khan on Instagram: "🚨📚 Attention, Concerned Parents! Canadian students recently faced an unexpected surprise: empty library shelves, with thousands of books vanished without trace! 🕵️‍♀️🔍 The reason? An "equity-based weeding process" targeting all books published before 2008, aimed to protect young minds from outdated, potentially harmful concepts. While shielding our children from prejudice and racism is crucial, erasing history by removing valuable books may not be the answer. 🤔📖 📚 Understanding History, Crafting the Future! Erasing the past doesn’t erase its impacts or lessons. Engaging with history, even its uncomfortable parts, helps us understand and navigate the present, crafting a more inclusive and understanding future. ✊ Parental Involvement is Key! We've noticed continuous changes within school environments, often with minimal consultation with parents. It’s time for us to take an active role, ensure transparency, and participate in decisions affecting our children's education and values. 🌐 Be Informed, Stay Involved! Let's advocate for a balanced approach to education that includes both timeless classics and contemporary works, promoting an understanding of history, diversity, and inclusion. Because, informed children grow into informed adults who can make the world a better place! 📢 #EducationMatters #books #library #libraries #school #educationsystem #parentalcontrol #ParentalInvolvement #history #reading #booklover #BalancedEducation #SchoolLibrary #KnowledgeIsPower 📘🌐"
