Salinas also filed complaints about four other books: The ABCs of Black History Cuban Kids Countries in the News Cuba and Love to Langston. Her book has educational value, the committee said - but it added that the "vocabulary used in the poem was determined to be of value for middle school students." During the school's review, an eight-person committee clarified that point, noting Gorman's place in history as the first National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration.
The complaint about Gorman's poem does not mention her, incorrectly asserting that the author or publisher was Oprah Winfrey - who wrote the book's foreword. A parent with students at Bob Graham Education Center challenged the inclusion of a famous poem by Amanda Gorman on the school's shelves.
