Library Policy,Warwick School Board,Library Book Policy

At least one board member wants to have more of a say in what books are allowed instead of leaving the decision up to a review committee.

There's a debate in the Warwick School District in Lancaster County over who should decide what students can read.Dozens of people came out to a school board meeting on Tuesday.'I think it is embarrassing that we are at this point as a community,' parent Alicia Albright said.'Here in Warwick, we have a big battle ahead of us,' parent James Senft said.The concern was the result of the board considering a change in the district's current library policy.

The organization is the conservative-Christian legal arm of the Pennsylvania Family Institute.'The purpose of the meeting was to perform some due diligence in connection with making a decision as to whether or not to recommend that the board speak to Independence Law Center on certain Title IX matters,' board vice president Scott Landis said.Some community members said the law center has been shopping its book-banning and anti-LGBTQ policies to public school districts.
