Amid the Trump administration's crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion, Julianne Moore is speaking out on the recent censorship of one of her books.
In a lengthy Instagram post Sunday, the Oscar-winning actress and children's book author reacted to the news that her book "Freckleface Strawberry" was reportedly removed from schools within the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
"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," wrote Moore, whose father is a Vietnam War veteran.
In a Feb. 10 memo, the Department of Defense announced that several books and learning materials had been removed from class curriculums and flagged for review, according to The Washington Post and The Guardian. Such titles include Moore's book, as well as "Becoming Nicole," a biography of transgender actress Nicole Maines.
