Reporter @benjaminjriley alleges that after parents began inquiring about the lack of books at Alpha School due to his reporting, "Potemkin libraries" have been established to save face — a practice he calls unethical. He previously argued a daily book club is not required by Alpha and that the activity in lower-grade check charts involves no guide.
