A Florida School Banned a Disney Movie About Ruby Bridges. Here’s What That Really Means. by Charles M. Blow
This month, an elementary school in St. Petersburg, Fla., stopped showing a 1998 Disney movie about Ruby Bridges, the 6-year-old Black girl who integrated a public elementary school in New Orleans in 1960, because of a complaint lodged by a single parent who said she feared the film might teach children that white people hate Black people. The school banned the film until it could be reviewed. So I decided to review the film myself.
