Florida school restricts access to Amanda Gorman's poem following parent's complaint.

Access to Amanda Gorman's inaugural poem, "The Hill We Climb," was limited at a Florida school after a parent filed a formal objection to the work. Miami-Dade County Public Schools moved the book to the middle school section of the library, triggering a review of five titles available at the library at Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes. The review resulted in "The Hill We Climb" being moved to the middle school section of the school's library, which is formally called its media center. The parent's challenge mentioned “indoctrination” and “gender ideology,” according to the documents. Gorman spoke out against what she described as a book ban and said a ban is "any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished."
