Federal court says school boards can be deposed over book removals
Original: School board members can be deposed for removing library books, federal court rules
A federal court has ruled that Florida school board members can be questioned under oath in depositions over their decisions to remove library books. The decision stems from litigation over challenges to books in school libraries. Officials and free-speech groups are watching closely, as it could expose board members' motives and reasoning in book-banning disputes to legal scrutiny.
Why now: School book removals are a contentious political issue in Florida, and this ruling limits officials' ability to shield their decisions from legal examination.
