Booksology Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, There will be three tangosAlongside elementary school students in the district, he filed a lawsuit against the Escambia County Board of Education in September 2023. The district claimed it had deleted a non-fiction picture book about the penguin penguin at Central Park Zoo, which raised the eggs. They argued for violated decisions about their right to free speech.
Escambia officials argued that the library’s collection was a government speech. They were able to curate the collection as they wanted, and the authors had no right to include their material.
Judge Allen Windsor oversaw the case in district court. However, rather than relying on the arguments presented by Escambia, he had a different approach. First, Winsor argued that school libraries are not public forums to express their opinions. In that respect, the author had no right to include the book. Second, Winsor said the books removed from the school library did not interfere with the students’ ability to obtain the plaintiff’s books. He said, “You can order online, buy it from a bookstore, or borrow it from a friend.” This has been a popular debate since the unprecedented increase in book censorship began in 2021, among individuals and groups who have pursued a book ban in public schools and libraries.

Reports on the New York Times incident point to Windsor noting that he has not addressed the issue of “government speech.” Instead, Judge Winsor leaned against the First Amendment argument.

The good news is that there is no need to determine difficult government speech issues to resolve the case. If the book curation is a government speech, the board wins the merits as the First Amendment does not reach the speech. And even if the book is curated, do not have Government speech, the board still wins merit. When the government decides which book to choose, it has not created a forum for others to speak to, or otherwise imply a plaintiff’s first right to amend. In any case, the First Amendment does not provide protection to the plaintiffs and the board is entitled to summary judgment.
