Broward schools to remove these 55 books from libraries, citing state order

Broward school administrators have given schools a list of 55 books that must be removed, the latest move in a statewide effort to ban certain materials from school libraries.

The list includes titles that have been frequently challenged in Florida and around the country, including: “Forever…” by Judy Blume, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” by Gregory Maguire, “This Book Is Gay,” by Juno Dawson, and “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson.

The district said the removals are by order of the state Board of Education. Other school districts in the state are removing these same books.
