ORLANDO, Fla. — A memoir that explores race and sexuality has ignited a contentious debate over book banning with a Flagler County School Board member filing a criminal complaint that accused the district of breaking obscenity laws.
“All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto” is generating national controversy because of its sexual content. The memoir features author George M. Johnson’s reflections on growing up Black and queer.
School Board member Jill Woolbright filed a criminal complaint, telling a deputy that she thought it was “a crime to have the book in the [district’s] media centers” and demanding that the people who put it there be held “accountable.”
