    The decision to remove the four books from the list was made by a panel of 12 teachers, led by a group of researchers and experts on racial equity and inclusive education. The teachers did independent reviews of the recommended resources, ultimately determining that the four should no longer be recommended, Matthew said.

    This decision comes from a group of teachers. From the article and local reporting it also seems unpopular with both sides of the provincial political fence.
