Finding books that are appropriate for children to read is a judgment call that is bound to be controversial (“Florida District Is Sued Over Banning Books From School Libraries,” The New York Times, May 18). That’s because parents differ dramatically in what they want their children to read.
Although the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, it’s unclear if it applies to children. It will be interesting to see how the judiciary interprets the latest lawsuits.
