Elmbrook Senior Leadership Paints Book Objections as Banning or Bigoted
A parent spoke about "Crank" being accessible by a 6 year old in the district.
On the heels of a parent coming forward on 10/25/22 to talk about her 6 year-old having access to Crank, a book that discusses drug use and describes a girl getting raped in graphic detail, Elmbrook's Chris Thompson cooperated with the Journal Sentinel to once again paint objections to explicit books as either banning books, bigoted, or driven by outside the community. This is false, and this response appears to be an ongoing pattern by Elmbrook senior leadership.
Crank is currently available to 14 year olds in Elmbrook. It was first brought to their attention in August of 2021 and has been removed from other Districts nationwide. Here's an excerpt being read, and pages are posted below.
