Book About Cuba Raises Concern From Parent Miami, Florida. Cuban Immigrant Says ‘Vamos A Cuba’ Doesn’t Accurately Represent Life There

“A children’s book about traveling to Cuba is no longer on a library shelf at a Miami elementary school after a complaint from a parent.

School officials said the Spanish-language travel book “Vamos a Cuba” was pulled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas Elementary School after a parent who emigrated from Cuba said the book doesn’t accurately represent life in the country.

“He finds it very offensive, given his experiences living in Cuba, and so he’s asked us to reconsider having it on the shelves in one of our elementary schools,” said Joe Garcia, spokesman for Miami-Dade County Public Schools.”
