Over 5,000 anti-school bookmarks found in books at libraries in Dover, Portsmouth, Durham

Leslie Modica:

Local libraries were recently the subject of a deliberate and calculating attack -- of the bookmark variety.

Volunteers and staff at the Dover Public Library spent 30 hours in May collecting more than 5,000 bookmarks secretly placed inside books at the library sometime before May.

The bookmarks contained information about the beliefs of two organizations, the School Sucks Project and Freedomain Radio.

The School Sucks Project is focused on a call to end publicly funded education because of what the group calls an attempt to stifle creativity and a valuing of order and obedience over all else in the school system, according to the group's website.
