The library should be designed to serve the majority. But this is a
school, not a public library. The school receives funds, probably from the local community, so the local community should have input in what those funds are used to purchase. I'm not sure how school board voting at that particular school works, but voting at my high school was open to the public, and the public was welcome to show up and present their viewpoints.
I think it's very telling that several of the board members didn't show up to vote at all. I really wonder if this will stand up or if they'll end up back-pedaling.
And I must have missed something. What's "the SC"?
