School tells parents that Amanda Gorman's poem hasn't been banned, but … re-shelved

He can’t find the post at the moment, but this editor remembers being pretty ticked off a few years ago when some busybody took it upon herself to rate which media outlets peddled fake news. Twitchy made the list, which is kind of infuriating because we’ve done hundreds of posts on “reputable” media outlets reporting actual fake news … like USA TODAY reporting that Amanda Gorman’s poem written for Joe Biden’s inauguration had been banned from a Miami-Dade school district. The source of that report was a statement posted by Gorman herself and was too good to check. It had been debunked by the next morning, though. That didn’t stop MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace from kicking off her show Wednesday with a discussion about the “banned” poem.

The school district in question has released a statement to parents explaining exactly what happened: They reviewed the book and decided it belonged in the middle school section rather than the elementary section of the library. They just moved the book from one shelf to another.

That gets cut off at the end, so here’s the entire statement:

So they moved the book but any kid can still check it out. Has Amanda Gorman posted an apology yet?

As we reported earlier, the Associated Press debunked its own headline with its report.

“Gorman vowed to fight back.” Against what?

Don’t forget CNN’s Abby D. Phillip who passed along the statement as fact.

If “disinformation” is such a danger to our democracy, why aren’t reporters knocking at Gorman’s door for comment?
