In Florida, parents, publishers, and activist organizations team up to take legal action against the state’s rampant book bans. The New York Times reported a Florida lawsuit brought on against the Escambia County School District and Escambia County School Board hopes to have the county's restrictions on school libraries declared unconstitutional for targeting certain viewpoints and infringing on students’ right to receive information. The group behind the lawsuit includes publishing giant Penguin Random House, human rights organization PEN America, and private citizens. With the number of book bans increasing in several states, the outcome of the lawsuit is considered to have implications beyond Escambia County.
