A Forsyth County elementary principal has apologized to parents following after a Batman researcher gave a lecture to fifth grade students.
Monday morning, author Marc Tyler Nobleman visited Sharon Elementary School to talk about his book, "Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman."
The principal apologized and said that "action was taken to ensure that this was not included in Nobleman's subsequent speeches."Nelson's letter comes a year after Forsyth County removed eight books from its school libraries, including Toni Morrison’s "The Bluest Eye." The school system eventually allowed seven to return after further consideration. It excluded only "All Boys Aren’t Blue," a memoir about growing up as a gay Black man by George M. Johnson.
The school district settled the complaint, agreeing to explain the book removal process to students and offer "supportive measures" to students who may have been harmed. Forsyth County will also include questions about the issue in its yearly school climate survey of middle and high school students next year.
