Florida School District Reconsiders Showing 'Ruby Bridges' Film After Parent Complaint.
TL;DR Summary
A Florida school district temporarily banned the historical drama film "Ruby Bridges" from an elementary school after a parent filed a complaint alleging that the film teaches students about racial slurs and how "white people hate black people." The film is about 6-year-old Bridges integrating a New Orleans elementary school in 1960. The move has prompted some Black-led organizations to implement a call of action to protect the teaching of Black history in schools. The school is expected to engage in the formal objection process to review the film challenged by the parent.
