Schools

The lists of books show locations in Brunswick County Public Schools.  These books have sexually inappropriate or confusing gender concepts or content including self harm, suicide, violence, and/or racism. No data base is available yet to determine whether or not classrooms contain these books. Therefore, we encourage citizens to ask teachers and administrators if these books are present or being used for instruction of any kind.





 

The Content Based Rating System was inspired by  the widely accepted MPA rating system. This rating system is meant to be a quick guide for busy parents who want to know what objectionable material is found between a book's covers. While it is a great tool, it does not meet the standards needed for schools to use for evaluating materials for student use.phs & more.
