from a second grade class, a Florida school district can’t seem to get its story straight about what happened or why. The incident began when a parent at North Shore Elementary School in St. Petersburg alleged the 1998 film, which follows a 6-year-old Black girl who integrated a school in New Orleans, teaches that white people hate Black people, eventually lodging an official complaint.
The district first softened language with terms like “temporary hold,” before eventually claiming that teachers actually could show the movie, just so long as they followed the appropriate procedures. Then the district claimed the whole thing had been a big misunderstanding, and the announcement just meant that every class planning to show the movie had already done so.

65 years ago when I was down there they had signs out saying which restrooms, water fountains stores and restaurants black folk could no use or frequent and were quite proud of it. Things have changed when I was living there some 10 years later but so had the law.

Yeah right. A big misunderstanding and the movie was not banned and if worms packed 45s birds wouldn't f**k with them.
im gonna take a guess and say we don't need to speculate on why it got banned.
