According to the ACLU, books "quarantined" by DoDEA schools included classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451, more recent titles like The Kite Runner, A Queer History of the United States, the children's book Julián Is a Mermaid, and even Vice President JD Vance's 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Lawyers for the DOD reportedly argued that the removals constituted "government speech" and thus were shielded from First Amendment scrutiny.
