Publisher sues Florida school district over book bans.

Penguin Random House, authors, parents, and a free speech group have filed a lawsuit against a Florida school district for removing 10 books related to race and the LGBTQ community after a high school teacher complained. The plaintiffs alleged that the district and the board violated the First Amendment by “depriving students of access to a wide range of viewpoints, and depriving the authors of the removed and restricted books of the opportunity to engage with readers and disseminate their ideas to their intended audiences.”
