Recently, the local news reported that the US Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) voted to change the ‘Laura Ingalls Wilder Award’ to the "Children’s Literature Legacy Award". According to the ALSC, "Wilder’s expressions and her stereotypical attitudes are inconsistent with ALSC's core values". The Little House books are, in their opinion, hurtful and racist. The Liberal news anchor reporting on the ALSC's decision turned to his co-anchor and asked if he thought the book should also be banned from all public school libraries across the nation. His Liberal co-anchor thought that would be a good idea to remove it and other books that were deemed racist or hurtful.
