2ds agoThe Superintendent of Schools in Darien has announced that a challenged book, "Mama's Nightingale: A Story of Immigration and Separation," has been removed from the school curriculum.
The Superintendent's Review Committee made this determination citing that the book is not developmentally appropriate for teaching.
The book was previously used to teach the feeling word "anxious" to 4th-grade students as part of the district's Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum.
Although it has been removed from the curriculum, the superintendent says the book is still accessible in school libraries.
