Ban of book on Cuba lands in court

A children’s book that fails to paint a harsh picture of communist Cuba is at the heart of the latest battle between Cuban exiles in Miami and civil libertarians over cherished U.S. free-speech rights. The book, called Vamos a Cuba in Spanish and A Visit to Cuba in English, has been removed from elementary school libraries in the Miami-Dade County School District. The ACLU says the case is the first major legal battle over book censorship by a U.S. public school system since 1982. The story is carried by Reuters.
