A final settlement was reached last week in the Davis County, Utah book removal case. In addition to returning the book In Our Mothers’ House unrestricted to school library shelves, the school district agreed not to remove or restrict access to any library books based on Utah’s ban on having “instructional materials” that contain “advocacy of homosexuality.”

In their blog post on the settlement, the ACLU gave a hat tip to FTRF:

“We received invaluable assistance from the Freedom to Read Foundation, which helped provide resources for challenging the restriction and identifying expert witnesses who could testify about how In Our Mothers’ House was well within the mainstream of children’s literature and that the school’s decision to restrict access to the book violated bedrock principles of school library science.”
