Banned books must remain in school district for now

A series of children’s books banned this month by the Miami-Dade School Board must stay in the district — and possibly in the schools — until a federal judge holds a preliminary hearing in late July. Copies of Vamos a Cuba and 23 other titles in the same series remain in school libraries, according to School Board attorney Luis Garcia. U.S. District Judge Alan Gold told the district today to keep possession of the books, saying he wanted to ”hold the status quo” until a July 21 hearing, but he did not specify whether the books need to remain on shelves and accessible to students.
