Oscar winner, actress Julianne Moore, is puzzled by the removal of her children’s book by the administration of President Donald Trump.
On Sunday, Moore responded to the news that her book «Freckleface Strawberry» had allegedly been removed from schools belonging to the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
«For me, it is a big shock to learn that my first book, 'Freckleface Strawberry,' has been banned by the Trump administration in schools managed by the Department of Defense», - wrote Moore.
Since taking office, President Trump has been a fierce opponent of diversity, equality, and inclusion initiatives, issuing numerous orders to eliminate such programs. He also compiled a list of banned terms circulating in the National Science Foundation and scientific communities, including words like «women», - «disability», - «bias», - «gender», - and references to race and ethnicity, such as «blacks», - «Hispanics», - and «minorities».
«Freckleface Strawberry» is a «semi-autobiographical story» about a 7-year-old girl who struggles to accept her freckles.
«This is a book I wrote for my children and for other children, to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community», - explained Moore in her social media post.
The book was released in 2007.
According to the official DoDEA website, the Department of Defense Education Activity manages 161 accredited schools for military families, providing educational programs for students from preschool to 12th grade on behalf of the Department of Defense.
In her post, Moore expressed particular surprise, as she is a «proud graduate of the Frankfurt American School, #DOD school, which once operated in Frankfurt, Germany»
