1 complaint led a Florida school to restrict access to Amanda Gorman's famous poem

Amanda Gorman's famous poem is restricted in a Florida school

One week after a parent complained, Gorman's The Hill We Climb was moved. The NAACP chapter in Miami says it wants "to ensure that it takes more than one form to remove our history and heritage."

Here on this last day of National Poetry Month, I have nothing scheduled!!!

Apr 30

I feel this is a good way to end a very busy National Poetry Month.

Friends, I wish I were a faster draw with my camera while walking the dogs, but believe me when I tell you we happened upon a fox (or foxes) two days in a row hunting rabbits. Yesterday one darted into the street chasing a hare. Today one passed w/a rabbit in its mouth.

No April quite like a Poet Laureate April…😬😵‍💫🫣🤪🙃
