It’s not about pushing people out; it’s about welcoming everybody in.” Sannella countered by mentioning that some people used to see America as a melting pot. “People couldn’t wait to be Americanized, whatever that meant – I’m just using a term – and it seems now the goal is to incorporate everything and it’s become a hyphenated country.” Kelly and Garcia both discussed including students in the decision-making process to include diff erent, more diverse authors to highlight with displays in the school lobbies. Rizzo asked what would happen if there were students who still wanted to move forward with a Dr. Seuss display. “I don’t want to make it sound like Dr. Seuss was bin Laden; I mean he wasn’t,” said Rizzo. “He had good literary work, and for [the students] to understand what’s good and what’s not good, I think, is important also.” Sannella also questioned whether it is fair to discount student viewpoints if they go against what the administration is recommending. “I know we have talked a lot about this, and I know it is a diffi cult conversation to have and a diffi cult topic,” said Kelly. “No one is saying Dr. Seuss should be eliminated.” Garcia said the goal with Read Across America, and the larger work of the Equity Advisory Board, is to create a balanced representation of the students in the district. School Committee Member Anthony D’Ambrosio said the ultimate goal is to promote authors of a more diverse background for students. “Does that mean exiling Dr. Seuss completely?” he said. “No, of course not, but it does mean actively guiding the choice toward a larger pool of authors, who by the way, represent the canon of American literature. There are lots of POC [people of color] authors in American history who are incredibly prominent and have produced work that’s just as good and just as infl uential as Dr. Seuss, and a lot of female authors who have done the same thing.” Like us on Facebook advocate newspaper Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma 1.
