Scholastic says state book bans are causing an 'impossible dilemma' for its iconic book fairs

• Scholastic's iconic school book fairs are facing an "almost impossible dilemma."
• The publisher said that state-level book bans are making it difficult to navigate which books to offer students.
• There'll now be a separate section for books dealing with race and gender at elementary school fairs that schools can opt out of.

Children's book publisher Scholastic says that state efforts to ban literary works that discuss gender or race are causing an "almost impossible dilemma" for the iconic book fairs that it has hosted at elementary schools across the United States for decades.
