TL;DR Summary

Penguin Random House has filed a lawsuit against a Florida school district over its decision to ban a book about a transgender child. The publisher claims that the ban violates the First Amendment and is seeking an injunction to prevent the district from enforcing it. The book, "George" by Alex Gino, tells the story of a fourth-grader who identifies as a girl but was born male. The school district claims that the book is not age-appropriate and that it did not follow its review process before being added to the library shelves.
