Escambia County School Board

The Escambia County School Board voted 5-0 to remove hundreds of books without review. The books in question come from the Florida Department of Education’s book removal list. This list is made of titles that have been eliminated from schools across the state. Classics such as “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou, “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, and “Slaughterhouse Five” by Kurt Vonnegut are among the 400-plus books.
