Amplification or Suppression? Author Maggie Tokuda-Hall Calls Out Edits Proposed by Scholastic

Concerns about censorship at Scholastic’s Rising Voices Library, a diversity-focused provider of educational materials, arose on Wednesday after writer Maggie Tokuda-Hall was asked to revise an author's note in her book about Japanese American incarceration during World War II. In response, Scholastic CEO Peter Warwick has apologized for the company’s request, saying it was “wrong and not in keeping with Scholastic’s values.”
