A Missouri school district will return two books with LGBTQ themes to high school libraries after their removal sparked outcry from the American Civil Liberties Union and students, the Associated Press reported.off library shelves this month after parents complained about their contents. A letter to NKC district families, provided to AP by a spokeswoman who said it was sent on Friday, said that both books would again be made available in district high schools.
"The Board has no basis for denying student access to a specific book based on the disagreement and discomfort of certain parents with the book's content," the letter said. The Northland Student Association also protested the removal of the books. A petition organized by the group, which had gained more than 1,000 signatures by Monday afternoon, said that though the school justified the books' removal by saying that they contained sexual or violent content,"all of the books they have targeted have a clear bias toward people of color, women, or LGBTQIA+ people.
