In our 2500+ student district, one parent complained that Scholastic has a "monopoly" on book orders and wanted the distribution of book club materials stopped. Our district lawyer agreed, and took it one step further: We can no longer have book fairs that are open during "instructional time" because we do not want to allow a company to sell things to kids while they should be learning. We'd have to have it open only during recesses or after school. With our 675+ kids, that would not work, so we stand to lose hundreds of dollars of book money for classrooms. Has anyone else even heard of this?
