Groups urge Florida school officials to not remove books about anatomy, other health information
Dec 16, 2024
Several organizations critical of Florida’s restrictions on education materials are warning school officials against removing books that contain health information — even if that information has been removed from the health curriculum for middle school students. Four groups — the Florida Freedom to Read Project (FFTRP), PEN America, EveryLibrary, and the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCA) — sent a letter to school superintendents and attorneys representing Florida’s school boards urging restraint when it comes to books that include topics such as anatomy, teen pregnancy, and sexual assault.
