Netflix has canceled two projects based on books by critical race theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi, including one animated show aimed at preschoolers.

The entertainment giant announced last year that it would adapt Kendi’s works for the screen with three different projects to give audiences of different age groups “a timely and thoughtful examination of racism.” According to a report by Variety, however, only one will move forward as the other two meet the chopping block.
