Parents pushed backed against the Independence School District after it banned a book that includes a non-binary character from its elementary school libraries. Independence's policy is to remove challenged books while they go through a review process.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri is suing the Independence School District after its school board banned a book that included a non-binary character.
The ACLU filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of several students in the United States District Court in the Western District of Missouri. The lawsuit seeks to stop a policy that automatically removes a book from the district’s libraries after it has been challenged.
Under the district’s policy, the challenged material is removed from use until a committee reviews it and the school board votes on it.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel There doesn't seem to be enough in the article about the context of the material. I also think they are wrong about the exposure young children may have to these different orientations.
