Controversy over Amanda Gorman's poem censorship in Florida schools.

TL;DR Summary
The Florida mom who complained about Amanda Gorman's poem and other books being taught in a local elementary school admits she only read parts of the material she objected to. Daily Salinas said she complained because the books did not support the curriculum, but she is not an expert and not a book person. Gorman rejected the school's defense that her poem was restricted, not banned, and Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has invited Gorman to perform a reading of her poem in the county. Salinas denies links to Proud Boys and apologizes for sharing an antisemitic post.
