Controversy In 2022, Somers School District Superintendent Dr. Raymond Blanch removed an English teacher from the classroom mid-lesson after parents of those students reported being upset at the content she presented as part of an optional activity on racial identity using excerpts from Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad. Dr. Blanch justified the removal of the text in a subsequent letter to parents by saying the material was previously removed for "approved" curricular use in a prior school year and claimed that the material is not “age appropriate", even though young readers’ edition of the book exists specifically for 10-16 year olds. Dr. Blanch's statement also contradicts the fact that several books that are required reading for 10th grade English classes include topics that may not be developmentally appropriate for minors, including sexual assault (Educated: A memoir (Westover)), drug use (All American Boys (Reynolds, Kiely)), rape, and murder. On November 10th, 2022, the Somers Central School District issued a letter from Blanch in which he admitted "The English Department was not specifically prohibited from using this text after it had been removed from the summer reading list in June 2021."
