Lawsuit Challenges Florida's Efforts to Ban Children's Book on Same-Sex Parents

  • A lawsuit is seeking to overturn a Florida school district's ban of a picture book about a penguin family with two fathers.
  • The book was targeted due to a new state law that prohibits instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation.
  • The lawsuit aims to make the award-winning book available again in schools and have the law found unconstitutional.
  • Efforts to ban books are rising across America, but groups are fighting back to oppose censorship and protect access to literature.
  • The picture book has been banned or limited in schools around the U.S. after objections to its depiction of a same-sex couple.
