At a Greenville County School Board meeting, parents voiced strong opposition to the district’s decision to cancel book fairs this year due to new “age-appropriate” material regulations from the State Board of Education. Many felt this move infringes on their freedom to choose educational materials for their children. Speakers argued that the regulations undermine teachers’ professionalism and deprive students of valuable knowledge. Superintendent Dr. W. Burke Royster clarified that the book fairs were only paused to protect district employees, as there is no precedent for how the state might enforce these new regulations.
