Julianne Moore expressed her distress over the Trump administration's decision to review her 2007 children's book, "Freckleface Strawberry," and its removal from military schools. The Department of Defense is scrutinizing books related to gender and equity topics, a move seen as part of a broader crackdown on diversity initiatives. Many artists fear this is indicative of a growing censorship climate. Moore articulated her belief in the book's message about embracing differences, highlighting concerns over the implications of prioritizing ideological conformity over free speech.
Many in the world of arts and humanities fear that a climate of censorship is impending and it's far from the only concern.
I am truly saddened and never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of speech and expression is a constitutional right.
