Episode Details

In a move sparking backlash during Pride Month, Colorado Springs’ Academy District 20 school board unanimously removed the book “Almost Perfect” from high school libraries, citing external advocacy links at the end as violating parental consent policies. Critics, including youth advocacy groups, argue the book promotes vital resources for transgender youth and that diverse literature strengthens mental health and community. While the board maintains final authority over curriculum materials and values community input, the timing—just before local Pride Fest—has intensified criticism, highlighting tensions between censorship and support for LGBTQ+ identities in schools.
