Over at School Law, Mark Walsh reports that the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear appeals about the removal of a book from school library shelves in Miami-Dade County, Fla.
The school board's decision to remove the book was struck down by a federal court, but a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, ruled that the school board didn't violate the First Amendment by removing the book.
Mark writes that a father in the Miami-Dade County, Fla., school district protested that his daughter's elementary school had the book. He contended the book ignored the realities of the Communist regime under leader Fidel Castro.
