KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City, Missouri school district is returning two LGBTQ-themed books it had pulled from libraries. The North Kansas City School District says the books will be back on high school shelves Monday. The reversal follows backlash from students and a letter from the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri urging the district to return the books. The district had pulled the books from high schools following parent concerns. The district is now reviewing its policies on book selection and removal.
