Well, this is infuriating! Amanda Gorman‘s acclaimed poem The Hill We Climb, which was written for and performed at President Joe Biden‘s inauguration in 2021 has been BANNED from a Florida school!

According to documents obtained by the Florida Freedom to Read Project on Tuesday, a parent of a student at the public school Bob Graham Education Center in the Miami-Dade County area complained about the poem — and had it removed from the elementary section of the school’s library!

The education center teaches kindergarten through eighth grade. Related: Dwyane Wade On Leaving Florida Over State’s Anti-LGBTQ Policies Get this: in the complaint, the parent erroneously listed Oprah Winfrey as the author/publisher of the piece.

They didn’t even know who wrote it — which means they can’t be very familiar with what they’re trying to ban!! WTF!
