    AP: Kansas district resumes checkouts after book challenge

    GODDARD, Kan. — A Kansas school district has agreed to resume allowing its libraries to check out books that a parent had challenged.

    The Goddard district wrote in an email that school principals and librarians made the decision during a meeting Wednesday. The Wichita Eagle reports that the email encouraged parents to “contact them directly if they have questions about the books being challenged nationally.” Issues had arisen when one parent in the Goddard district objected to language he found offensive in “The Hate U Give,” a novel about the aftermath of a police officer killing a Black teenager.

    The parent then submitted a list of 28 other books he questioned, and district officials agreed last week to halt checkouts and complete a review.
