MoveOn: A Florida school has banned "The Hill We Climb," the moving poem that Amanda Gorman recited at President Joe Biden's inauguration, saying it would now be off-limits to young readers after one parent claimed the poem was "indoctrinating" students. The school at the same time also banned "The ABCs of Black History," a book intended for readers ages 5 and older. In response, Gorman, the first national youth poet laureate, described feeling "gutted," explained that she had written the poem "so that all young people could see themselves in a historical moment," and said, "We must fight back." With Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially in the race for president, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile," filling it with books that DeSantis has banned from schools in Florida, and driving it around the state to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. If we can raise enough funds, we'll take the Banned Bookmobile on tour around the country for months, following DeSantis to his campaign stops across the country, giving out banned books, hosting events with authors and advocates, and making sure the press covers it as much as possible. See the list of banned books here and chip in $5 today to help us keep buying as many copies of DeSantis's banned books as we can, giving them away for free, and hammering DeSantis and the GOP with bad press for as long as it takes: http://mvn.to/3mn/8o81oa Paid for by MoveOn.org Political Action, pol.moveon.org, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
