Summary

Julianne Moore criticized the Trump administration after her children’s book, Freckleface Strawberry, was banned in Department of Defense (DOD) schools.

The book, a semi-autobiographical story about self-acceptance, was removed as part of efforts to curb diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Other banned materials include books on gender, immigration, and transgender issues.

Moore and other celebrities expressed outrage, questioning why the book was deemed controversial. She lamented that children in military families, like her younger self, would no longer have access to it.
