Florida School Board Reverses Restrictions on Children's Book About Male Penguin Couple After Lawsuit

The school board in Lake County, Florida has lifted age restrictions on the book "And Tango Makes Three," which is about two male penguins raising a chick, after a federal lawsuit was filed.
The restrictions were initially imposed due to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law, but the state clarified the law applies only to classroom instruction, not school libraries.
Students and authors sued the school board for violating the First Amendment, and officials asked a judge to dismiss the "moot" case after reversing the decision.
The book has faced censorship attempts for over a decade for its depiction of same-sex parents.
The law has been controversial in Florida, with Disney opposing it and Governor Ron DeSantis championing it amid his presidential campaign.
