A children’s book on the life of tennis and LGBTQ+ icon Billie Jean King is being reviewed for a possible ban in elementary school libraries by a school district in Tallahassee after a parent complained about one of its themes that supports same-sex love. The book is rated as appropriate for children in kindergarten to fourth grade and is 40 pages written in a cartoon style. In Florida, it only takes one parent to object and set in motion hearings on whether a book should be allowed to be on library shelves under so-called “parental rights”, which have been a cornerstone of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ legislative agenda.
