"The Hill We Climb" banned in Florida

The full text of Amanda Gorman's poem, which was read at Biden's inauguration, is located here. The story confirming the meme below is here. The woman who complained about the poem said that it "indirectly [had] hate messages." 

Read the poem. It is about our "unfinished" country and its message is one of hope and unity. "We are striving to forge our union with purpose. To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man."  

And that's the crux of the complaint, which presupposes hateful white supremacy which projects its own hate on a message of radical love and inclusion.
