Julianne Moore's freckles? How Republican bans on woke' books have reached new level
Briefly

Julianne Moore's children’s book, Freckleface Strawberry, may face a ban in Pentagon schools as part of a wider initiative by the Trump Administration targeting books related to gender ideology and discriminatory equity. This move has shocked Moore, who shared her concerns on Instagram. The administration's actions represent a significant escalation of the ongoing book banning movement, transitioning it from state-level debates to federal implications. Critics worry that this could lead to broader censorship affecting education on race and LGBTQ+ topics.
