A federal court has ruled that books removed from military school libraries must be returned. This decision affects schools affected by the lawsuit filed by 12 families, including families from Kentucky. The lawsuit sought the removal of books dealing with topics such as slavery, civil rights and LGBTQ rights.
Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles of the US District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia found that school libraries are not exempt from the protections of the First Amendment. She rejected the defense’s argument that removing the books could be considered government speech, which is not subject to the First Amendment.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kentucky, which is supporting the families in the lawsuit, welcomed the ruling. Corey Shapiro, legal director of the ACLU of Kentucky, called the removal of the books “censorship, plain and simple.” He stressed that the removed materials were age-appropriate and would only be offensive to those who fear a free-thinking population.
The court’s decision is a significant step in the fight against censorship in educational institutions. It highlights the importance of freedom of expression and access to a wide range of information for students. The return of the books is seen as a victory for educational freedom and diversity of opinion in school libraries.
