A Cobb County School District (CCSD) spokesperson told The Georgia Star News on Friday that a complaint from the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) repeats “made-up narratives espoused and circulated by a small community group which includes candidates for local office.”
NWLC’s complaint accused the school district of violating students’ civil rights by removing what school officials deemed inappropriate books from school libraries. The lawsuit was filed on Monday against CCSD for creating a “hostile environment” for students by allegedly “censoring” books written by or about LBGTQIA people and people of color (POC).
The spokesperson told The Star News, “Local political candidates, including those running for Board, repeating a made-up narrative doesn’t make it true and community groups who want to promote access to sexually explicit content for minors, doesn’t make it right.”
