Why it’s inappropriate: A fourth grade RULER reading recommendation, this politically focused book contains pro-open borders themes and paints the enforcement of existing US immigration law as unjust and cruel. There are no books on the RULER reading recommendations that are supportive of existing immigration law so this content is presented to fourth grades in an unbalanced and biased manner.
