Poet and author Amanda Gorman joins "CBS Mornings" for her first interview since her poem and book, "The Hill We Climb," was restricted by a Florida elementary school. She shares her initial reaction to the ban, why she believes restricting books keeps history from children and how she got involved in a book-ban giveaway event.

@@dawnalfonso9356 why is that ridiculous? Did you read the committe statement? I bet you didn't. From the committe that made the decision to move the book: "The book discussed was "The Hill We Climb." Clarification was made that the book's author is Amanda Gorman. The book contains a foreword by Oprah Winfrey. Amanda Gorman was the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate. The poem "The Hill We Climb" was read at the inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021. Gorman is the youngest poet to read at a presidential inauguration in United States history. For these reasons the SMRC determined the book has educational value because of its historical significance. The vocabulary used in the poem was determined to be of value for middle school students. Therefore, the decision of the SMRC is that the book be shelved in the Middle School Section of the Media Center." In other words, the minutes reflect that the committee appeared to look at "The Hill We Climb" in a positive light, concluding that it had "educational value" and "historical significance." Nowhere in the minutes did it say that Gorman's book would be "banned" or that elementary students would be forbidden from reading her poem in the library. I agree with your message and that she seems like a WONDERFUL young woman
