Actress Julianne Moore stated in an Instagram put up Sunday that she is in “great shock” over her kids’s e-book being allegedly banned by President Donald Trump’s Division of Protection.
“It is a great shock for me to learn that my first book, Freckleface Strawberry, has been banned by the Trump Administration from schools run by the Department of Defense,” Julianne Moore stated in an Instagram put up.
Moore, who received an Oscar in 2015 for her movie, “Still Alice,” printed a kids’s e-book in 2007 referred to as, “Freckleface Strawberry,” a couple of younger lady who has freckles and learns to simply accept variations in herself and others.
In her Instagram put up, Moore stated the e-book is “a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different ‘just like everybody else.’”
Fox Information Digital reached out to the Division of Protection for remark, and was referred to The Division of Protection’s Training Exercise, the entity of the DOD that plans and executes pre-Okay-to-12 grade instructional programming for the Division of Protection, however didn’t instantly obtain a response.
On Jan. 26, 2025, Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth stated in a put up on X that the DOD can be ending all DEI programming to adjust to President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day government order closing DEI workplaces within the federal authorities.
A part of the preview of Moore’s e-book on Amazon reads, “If you have freckles, you can try these things: 1) Make them go away. Unless scrubbing doesn’t work. 2) Cover them up. Unless your mom yells at you for using a marker. 3) Disappear. Um, where’d you go? Oh, there you are. There’s one other thing you can do: 4) LIVE WITH THEM! Because after all, the things that make you different also make you YOU.”
“I am particularly stunned because I am a proud graduate of Frankfurt American High School a #DOD school that once operated in Frankfurt, Germany,” Moore stated. “I grew up with a father who is a Vietnam veteran and spent his career in the #USArmy. I could not be prouder of him and his service to our country.”
She added, “It is galling for me to realize that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a @dodea_edu [The Department of Defense Education Activity] school will not have access to a book written by someone whose life experience is so similar to their own. And I can’t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that cause it to be banned by the US Government.”
