Book Burning: How Can A History Book Be Outdated


A middle school in White Bear Lake, Minnesota is under fire for tossing hundreds of books into the dumpster, with school administrators blaming COVID-19 for why the knowledge had to be trashed.
Concerned citizen Ryan Swanson told FOX 9 that he visited the site to see for himself and was disgusted at what he found.
“I was so mad, I just left,” he said.
Swanson noted that he found books pertaining to Native American history, the Constitution, and World War II that were trashed by the school. He saved about 30 books and said others were doing the same.
Sunrise Park Middle School Principal Christina Pierre is defending her decision to throw the books away because they were supposedly outdated.
