Actor Julianne Moore’s picture book, Freckleface Strawberry, was recently removed for “compliance review” from schools serving the families of US military and civilian defence personnel.
The review, conducted by the US Department of Defense, is designed to ensure the books in its schools don’t contravene President Trump’s two executive orders regarding “gender ideology” and “racial indoctrination”, reported CNN.
As part of the week-long review, in which access to all library books was denied, Moore’s book about a redheaded girl who learns to accept her freckles was flagged alongside others as “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics”.
