Plaintiffs, including parents and book authors, have agreed to a legal settlement with the Nassau County school board that will return 36 books to school library shelves after an advocacy group objected to their content.

The settlement was filed in the Middle District of Florida on Sept. 12, putting an end to a federal lawsuit brought by the authors of “And Tango Makes Three” and other plaintiffs. The lawsuit alleged that the school board’s removal of the 36 books violated the First Amendment, the Florida Constitution and state public records statutes.

The books were removed after an advocacy group, Citizens Defending Freedom, alleged the books contained “obscene” material. A recent measure signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis makes it easier for parents and other parties to challenge school library books based on sexual content or other concerns.
