The National Education Association (NEA) on Monday recommended that teachers include the controversial book “Gender Queer” on their summer reading lists.
The book was featured in the NEA’s “Great Summer Reads for Educators!” list that showcased 11 books. Among those books are “White Fragility,” a book that insists that White Americans use anger, shame and guilt to avoid taking responsibility for racial inequality.
Other sections included “books to help you forget about work” and “books to celebrate or help you understand Junetheenth.”
Under the “banned books” section, Gender Queer is recommended as a reading.
