School officials have ruled that a children’s book about traveling to Cuba should remain in Miami-Dade County school, despite a parent’s complaint that the book does not depict an accurate life in Cuba.
The Miami-Dade School Board voted 6-3 Tuesday against removing the Spanish-language book, “Vamos a Cuba” or “A Visit to Cuba” from library shelves. The book, by Alta Schreier, contains images of smiling children wearing uniforms of Cuba’s communist youth group and a carnival celebrating the Cuban revolution of 1959, said Joseph Garcia, a spokesman for the school district.
