Hillsborough’s school board banned Blankets & Identical. Not LGBTQ or POC books, but bans like these erase queer stories & books about people of color. Caving to DeSantis isn’t leadership…and allies don’t ban books. Show up at school boards & the polls. #LGBTQ #BookBan #Florida #FL #Ally #POC

Hillsborough school board votes to remove two more books from library shelves

The district came under pressure from the state this year regarding what officials said was inappropriate material in school libraries
