📚 A Major Legal Victory for the Freedom to Read 📚 A Florida federal court ruled that key provisions of HB 1069; which led to hundreds of books being rapidly removed from school libraries, violate the First Amendment. This ruling is a powerful affirmation that: 📓 Students have First Amendment rights in school libraries 📖 Books should be evaluated by their full educational value, not isolated fragments 👩🏫 Librarians and educators, not politicians, should decide what books belong in schools Hachette Book Group was proud to stand alongside Penguin Random House, HarperCollins Publishers, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, Sourcebooks, The Authors Guild, and acclaimed authors including Julia Alvarez, John Green, Jodi Picoult, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Angie Thomas in filing this lawsuit. We remain committed to defending access to books, supporting librarians, and upholding the constitutional right to read. #FreedomToRead #BannedBooks #RightToRead #PublishingForAll
