@RickiTarr I'm amused when white people think they need books set in the past to teach kids about racism, or that approving depictions of racist characters and attitudes are somehow necessary for that education. It has the same ring as "We'll forget all about slavery unless we keep the Confederate leader statues right where they are!" As many have pointed out, that history can be taught even better and in the right perspective by trashing the statues and teaching the records.
Similarly, these books can be excerpted as examples of racist depictions in popular books and in their historical context, rather than making BIPOC children read dehumanizing portrayals of themselves coming from the "heroes" and protagonists of narratives they're meant to be immersed in. Presentation matters in education. Ask yourself--which are you centering in your discourse, the well-being of Black and Indigenous children or your own discomfort about losing part of your "heritage?"
