Let's help the PTA at Van Buren Elementary School in Baldwinsville, NY, provide a pack of Colors of the World crayons (with an array of skin tones) to each student at the school. There has recently been news coverage of pressure being applied to librarians and teachers in the region by groups that are against providing students with diverse information and a factual view of life in this country. Although we cannot directly involve ourselves politically with any school board, it has come to our attention that teachers in the Baldwinsville schools would like to provide students with "multicultural crayons" that would allow the kids to color faces in a variety of skin tones to better reflect themselves, their families, and their communities.
