Cuban mom raids school library

A Miami-Dade parents group has identified a third book that they say paints a false picture of life in Cuba. But this time, they’re taking matters into their own hands. Fed up with the long, bureaucratic process surrounding the removal of two other controversial books about Cuba from school libraries last year, parent Dalila Rodriguez simply checked out the book “Discovering Cultures, Cuba” from the library at her son’s school earlier this month. She said she does not plan to return it. Mrs. Rodriguez says she’s merely protecting her son and other children from lies. School officials say her actions don’t correspond with respect for democracy and due process. Read more about this controversy in this article from The Miami Herald.
