Amid a chorus of criticism from authors, librarians, educators, and freedom to read advocates, Scholastic this week said it would stop offering an optional collection of diverse books at its book fairs, and apologized for the loss of trust and “the pain caused” by the exclusionary policy.

...Berger added that the company's "commitment to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ authors and stories remains foundational" for the company.
