Julianne Moore announced on Instagram that her children's book, 'Freckleface Strawberry,' was 'banned' by the Trump Administration, which sparked widespread concern. The Department of Defense (DoD) clarified that the book is merely under review, not banned, to comply with recent executive orders. Moore expressed disbelief and shared that she wrote the book to connect with children facing acceptance issues. PEN America informed her of the situation, advocating for free expression and encouraging public engagement on the matter, as 70,000 military children are affected by the educational decisions made under the DoD's jurisdiction.
Moore expressed her astonishment, stating it was a "great shock" to learn her book was viewed as potentially contentious, stressing the importance of conveying acceptance to children.
The Department of Defense clarified that the book was not banned but was under review to ensure compliance with executive orders aimed at educational materials.
