The ACLU said Tuesday that the ACLU filed lawsuits on behalf of the Eastern District Court of Virginia from the ACLU, representing 12 students from six families attending school as children of active-duty military personnel.
– The lawsuit holds that their First Amendment rights have been irreparably damaged. The complaint says the review system has been applied systematically across the Pentagon school and endangeres children by preventing them from learning critical information about health, hygiene, biology and abuse, according to the Guardian.Also read: “Harvard University should not be…
– Both parties are responsible for violations of students’ First Amendment rights by removing books from the library and changing courses, including canceling Women’s History Month and Black History Month.
– At the heart of the lawsuit is the Department of Defense Education Activities (DODEA), a system that operates K-12 schools for children associated with the U.S. military. It serves approximately 67,000 students whose parents are active members or civilian employees.
– Although these schools are managed by the Pentagon, they are considered civilian institutions, which means their students have the same First Amendment rights as any other child in the United States. The case involved 12 student plaintiffs from five families, spanning kindergarten to high school, attending Dodea schools in the United States, Italy and Japan.

– “The quality of children’s education, exposure to ideas and the preparation of the next generation of citizens are all hurt by this censorship,” Emerson Sykes, a senior staff attorney at the ACLU and the lead attorney for the case told The Guardian.
– Books like I know why birds in cages sing, American queer history and Julian is a mermaid, while the deleted book is a mermaid, and controversial works such as Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf are still available. The ban also reached the U.S. Naval Academy, resulting in the removal of nearly 400 titles.
– Authors such as Geraldine Brooks and Jennifer Finney Boylan criticize the ban. Transgender writer Boylan said the censorship reflects deeper intolerance. “Trump may hate dogs, but dogs are great judges of character,” she wrote.
