Picoult’s books have been banned in about 41 school districts in the U.S. But she also didn’t want to let her book, which is about a school shooting, disappear quietly.
Picoult reached out to Menomonee Falls Superintendent David Muñoz and School Board President Nina Christensen and asked them for a Zoom meeting, so they could explain to her why her book was targeted.
She didn’t get a response.
"I've written, I think, three times now asking when they'd like to meet, and I've heard absolutely nothing," Picoult said during an interview Friday with Wisconsin Public Radio. "I’m going to hazard to guess that it's a lot easier to be a bully when you’re not face to face with someone."
Muñoz and Christensen did not respond to requests for comment. [emphasis added]
