Florida's book bans now targeting dictionaries
Quick Glance: Florida School District Faces Book Ban Lawsuit
  • A federal judge ruled that a lawsuit challenging book bans in Escambia County, Florida, can proceed while the county released an updated list of over 2,800 books removed from shelves.

  • U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II ruled that book publisher Penguin Random House, free expression PEN America, authors, and families of Escambia County had standing to pursue their claims under the First Amendment.

  • Escambia County has released a list of 2,812 books - totaling over 1,500 titles - removed from shelves for review under House Bill 1069, limiting discussion of gender and sexual orientation in grade school.

  • The lawsuit was brought forward in May 2023 by Penguin Random House, PEN America, authors, and families of Escambia County who argue that the school board's removal and restriction of books violates the First Amendment.
