Removing books about race and LGBTQ+ issues is 'depriving students of access to a wide range of viewpoints,' the suit claims.
The lawsuit claims that the school district ordered the removal of books against the recommendations of its own experts, with the banned books including"The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison,"The Nowhere Girls" by Amy Reed and"Lucky" by Alice Sebold.
"Books are being ordered removed from libraries, or subject to restricted access within those libraries, based on an ideologically driven campaign to push certain ideas out of schools," the lawsuit claims."Further, the school board is ordering the removal against the recommendations of experts within the school district.
