Feds say Georgia school district's book bans violated students' rights.

TL;DR Summary
The US Department of Education has found that a Georgia school district may have created a hostile environment for students by banning certain books from its libraries. The district limited its screening process to sexually explicit books and did not violate two laws governing institutions receiving federal aid. However, the district did not do enough to alleviate concerns if a sexually or racially hostile environment was created for students as a result of the process. The district has reached a resolution agreement with the Department of Education that lays out a series of actions for the district.
