It’s part of a bigger push by conservative parents in Florida to have books touching on subjects like gender identity and racism removed from schools.
In “My Rainbow,” a mother creates a rainbow-colored wig for her transgender daughter, according to the book’s description.
The books up for review are in at least one school, but the district said it is not sure how many school libraries carry each title. Jean Moore, who has filed 49 of the 56 objections to school district books received by the district, spoke last week during a regular school board meeting.“I believe that we have a very serious issue regarding library book content in our county,” Moore said. “There is so much sex and violence at every turn in our culture, parents should feel confident that their children are in a safe zone at school.
“The District Media Advisory Committee reached consensus on March 30, 2022 that this book should remain in the school’s collection,” Forson wrote, referring to Moore’s objection to “All Boys Aren’t Blue.” “I respect and support the choice of a parent to restrict their child from checking out a particular book.”
