Great speech. I think we just found the leader of the resistance.

Julianne Moore - 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. Freckleface Strawberry is a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realises that she is different "just like everybody else." It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community. I am particularly stunned because I am a proud graduate of Frankfurt American High School a D.O.D school that once operated in Frankfurtm Germany. I grew up with a father who is a Vietname veteran and spent his career in the US Army. I could not be prouder of him and his service to our country. It is galling for me to realise that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a D.O.D 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 caused it to be banned by the US Government. I am truly saddened and never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of speech and expression is a constitutional right. Thank you to PEN America for bringing this to my attention. Julianne also mentions her book illustrator LeUyen Pham and her literary agency The Book Group.
So, Julianne Moore's childrens' book 'Freckleface Strawberry' has been banned by the US Department of Defense, according to PEN America.
