2. One book challenged by the teacher, Vicki Baggett, is When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball

The book is about the childhood of Rudolph, a sprinter who won three gold medals

It covers how she overcame physical limitations and racial prejudice in the 40s to become a champion

@juddlegum This is such a display of hypocrisy. Everyone should read this thread. Another case of what's good for me but not for thee.

@juddlegum It’s nearly impossible to keep up with all these anti-freedom to read stories. Unbelievable this one involves a teacher. Shame on her for not parking in truth and what we can all learn from studying it.

@juddlegum as a NP I often see people like this teacher and wonder etc her parents did to culture such religious and general hate to create a person who takes the time to try and cancel 150 authors and their works due to her intolerance by submitting written objections ? Truly a life lost

@juddlegum I’m curious as to her reasoning behind this. Is it Girls playing basketball might intimidate the boys?

@celset2

It's because it illustrates what segregation was like in a historically accurate way. That's the actual reason given.
