Cancel culture wars in school libraries

Yes, I was eagerly scanning the list for such fare. Close, but no cigar with “systemic bias”. If it had been “systematic bias”, then good luck getting through chapter 8 of intermediate statistics in WI.

The most interesting word on the list from the standpoint of unintended consequences might be “woke”. Lately a catch-all staple of conservative media, I really don’t see how they could last five minutes without an uttereance, i.e. it’s become a term used mostly by anti-wokers.

I agree with what some have pointed out in this thread regarding nuance and detail. It’s important to move past the headlines regarding these matters. Characterizations from one camp or another often broad-brush what is actually being proposed (or objected to) in particular instances.
