Happy Kids with Books

Questionable Books in Public Schools Today

​Parents, the books listed below contain questionable and inappropriate content.  We encourage you to research each book your child brings home from school, and then make your own decision as to whether or not you wish your child to read it.

If your child is assigned to read one or more of these questionable books, or one or more of these books are in the school library or the teacher's classroom library, please contact us using our school incident report form.

Thank you to the Florida Citizens Alliance, and Collier County, FL for compiling the following list.
