Julianne Moore's Children's Book Removed for Review in Pentagon Schools
The Department of Defense cites compliance with Trump administration directives on educational materials as the reason for the review.
- Julianne Moore's 2007 semi-autobiographical book 'Freckleface Strawberry' has been removed from Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) school libraries for a compliance review.
- The review follows executive orders by President Donald Trump targeting materials related to 'gender ideology' and 'discriminatory equity ideology topics.'
- Moore expressed sadness and disbelief, noting her personal connection to military schools as a graduate of a DoDEA school and the daughter of a Vietnam veteran.
- Other books under review include 'No Truth Without Ruth,' a biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and 'Becoming Nicole,' a memoir about a transgender actress.
- The Department of Defense has stated that no books have been permanently banned yet, with access temporarily restricted to professional staff during the review process.
