Teachers, including herself, often personally fill and fund classroom libraries, which she called an "absolutely vital" resource, she said.
According to Boismier, teachers were asked to either box up the books they felt could be at issue, turn them around so that the spines faced inward and the title of the text could not be seen, or cover them up, with butcher paper, for example. "The concern centered on a Norman Public Schools teacher who, during class time, made personal, political statements and used their classroom to make a political display expressing those opinions," officials said.
She said after the first day of school on August 19, she was told she would be placed on administrative leave and was not to come to school the next Monday."Like many educators, the teacher has concerns regarding censorship and book removal by the Oklahoma state legislature. However, as educators it is our goal to teach students to think critically, not to tell them what to think," school district officials said.
Boismier said she felt district officials wanted her to say she had made a mistake, which she said she is unwilling to do. She added that the new law is designed as a trap that makes it impossible for teachers to do their jobs.
