Titled, Book bans: Marginalized people deserve to have their stories told, the column by Aspen Ruhlin was published by the Maine Beacon, the online propaganda organ of the radically woke Maine Peoples Alliance.
Ruhlin cites the Hampden school district in eastern Maine as a hotbed of right-wing opposition to what she refers to as the "Bogeyman" of Critical Race Theory, and she singles me out as one of the leaders "In the fight against literature" at Hampden schools.
Three years ago, during my last of four terms in the Maine House of Representatives, I sponsored a bill to outlaw political indoctrination in Maine's K-12 public-school classrooms.
The education committee sided with the teachers' unions and their allies in the Maine Department of Education who opposed the legislation, so the bill never made it to the full Legislature for a vote.
That became clear late last year when the Maine Department of Education named Kelsey Stoyanova, a middle school teacher in the district, the Maine Teacher of the Year.
It's on the shelves of the Bonny Eagle High School library in rural Cumberland County in southern Maine.
Coupled with partisan political indoctrination and X-rated kiddie porn, "Scandalous" is much too mild a term to describe what's going on in Maine's government-run K-12 schools.
