Mega-publisher Penguin-Random House on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the Escambia County, Florida School District and its board alleging First Amendment violations in their MAGA-brained decision to remove 10 books Penguin-Random House from school libraries, NBC 6 Miami reports.
“Books have the capacity to change lives for the better, and students in particular deserve equitable access to a wide range of perspectives. Censorship, in the form of book bans like those enacted by Escambia County, are a direct threat to democracy and our Constitutional rights,” said Penguin-Random House CEO Nihar Malaviya in a statement about the lawsuit. Among the other removed books were “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison, “The Nowhere Girls” by Amy Reed and “Lucky” by Alice Sebold, all of them “racially divisive” or “pornographic” or whatever bullshit thoughtcrime against right wing Karens obsessed with destroying the American public education system.
