TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 The state of Florida is fighting for the right to remove books from schools by appealing to the highest court in the land. <\/p>\n

The state is appealing a federal judge\u2019s ruling that declared a law removing books from schools as unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

The 2023 law was declared unconstitutional earlier this year after a First Amendment lawsuit was filed last year. It was brought forward by parents, publishers and authors.<\/p>\n

The Orlando-based judge focused primarily on a portion of the law that prevents the availability of books that describe sexual conduct.<\/p>\n
