Controversy Surrounds Amanda Gorman's Inaugural Poem Ban.

The Florida mom who got a school to ban Amanda Gorman's inauguration poem has ties to far-right groups, including the Proud Boys and Moms for Liberty. Daily Salinas filed complaints against five books, including Gorman's The Hill We Climb, for things like "CRT and gender idiology [sic]," and "indoctrination." Salinas is an avid supporter of Ron DeSantis and attended events with far-right groups. She also shared a Facebook post with anti-Semitic tropes. Salinas' complaints against Gorman's book are part of a wave of attempted book bans across the country, spearheaded by conservative groups and hyper-zealous activists.
