Thank you to @PENamerica and @penguinrandom for pressing this issue forward into the courts.
Most of all, thank you to the authors for putting your stories onto the page and fighting to protect student access to your books that help our students feel seen or develop empathy!

We filed our lawsuit alongside Penguin Random House, authors, and parents of children affected by the unconstitutional book bans carried out by Florida’s Escambia County School District and School Board, asking for books to be returned to school library shelves where they belong.
