A coalition of major publishers, authors, and parents is suing Florida education officials over a law enabling the removal of books depicting sexual conduct from school libraries.
The lawsuit claims that the law has led to hundreds of book removals, violating First Amendment rights, including the banning of classics by Maya Angelou and Kurt Vonnegut.
Florida officials contend that no books are banned, arguing that sexually explicit material is not suitable for schools, labeling the lawsuit as a mere stunt.
The ongoing book bans in Florida reflect wider cultural disputes surrounding how race, history, and sexuality are taught within educational systems throughout the country.
