"The ACLU and the Miami-Dade County Student Government Association argued in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Miami on Wednesday that the school board should add materials with alternate viewpoints rather than remove books that could be offensive.
Last week, the board voted 6-3 to remove "Vamos a Cuba" and its English-language version, "A Visit to Cuba" from 33 schools, stating the books were inappropriate for young readers because of inaccuracies and omissions about life in the communist nation."
First I don't see why we still have problems with Cuba anymore, unless Castro still sends out his goons to kidnapp dissidents.
If they keep these books, then I hope they would allow books on what the Communist government of Cuba has done to it's people and not just have some book where everyone seems so happy to be ruled by Castros regime.
