Children’s book about Cuba at center of emotional court battle
Tagged: book, children, Cuba, FloridaPosted on: June 5th, 2007“To some in this community, the childrens book “Vamos a Cuba” “A Visit to Cuba” is offensive and should be removed from school libraries, even though it contains no obscenities or profanities, nor any mention of sex or drugs.
It also doesn’t contain any criticism of Fidel Castro or his communist government, which is why the Miami-Dade County School District will ask a federal appeals court Wednesday for permission to remove the 49 copies from its libraries.”
