Julianne Moore’s ‘Freckleface Strawberry’ On List For Potential Removal From Military Schools

Freckles Pride is apparently too politically correct. 

A memo obtained by The Washington Post shows that the Department of Defense has started to restrict access to books and other learning materials in its school system for U.S. military families. The move comes as part of the new administration’s move to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs. 

Julianne Moore’s is among the victims of that. Her Freckleface Strawberry, which was first published in 2007 and illustrated by LeUyen Pham, is the story of a young girl who learns to embrace her freckles and other differences. Moore drew on her own childhood for its inspiration.  

In an Instagram post on Sunday, Moore said it is a “great shock” to learn that one of her books had been “banned by the Trump Administration.”  

The DoD memo states that it is examining library books “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics.”  

“It is a book I wrote for my children and for other kids to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and our community,” said Moore. 

Other books that are part of the DoD review include No Truth Without Ruth by Kathleen Krull, about former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
