Scholastic has reversed course and is discontinuing its optional diversity set of titles at Scholastic Book Fairs.

In a letter to its authors and illustrators, Scholastic Trade Publishing president Ellie Berger apologized for the decision to create the "Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice" add-on set at Scholastic Book Fairs, calling it "a mistake to segregate diverse books in an elective case" and announced that the scheme will be discontinued in January. The company is "working on a pivot" for the remaining fall fairs, she added.
