There was one complaint about content of Book Club books, but the larger issue in this town seems to be having kids connected to selling anything. We've said it before -- these issues need a more nuanced analysis than simply equating all selling or all for-profit efforts with doing harm to kids.
Whether schools could benefit from Scholastic having more competition is an open question, but -- c'mon! -- the 50-year tradition of school book clubs doing harm to kids??? These guys can't be serious. Your thoughts?
