The singer Pink is calling attention to book bans and taking aim at Florida.
Pink announced she planned to give away 2,000 books during her mid-November Sunshine State performances in response to book challenges.
"The following are some titles of books that have been banned from schools in Florida…. Lmk which book is pornography…." Pink wrote in a Nov. 13 X post. "To Kill A Mockingbird, The Hate (U) Give, Forrest Gump, A Catcher In The Rye, The Hill We Climb, Girls Who Code, Atlas Shrugged, 1984, The Kite Runner, The Bluest Eye, A Wrinkle In Time, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Fault In Our Stars, etc etc."
The post was tagged with a community note that included a USA Today fact-check about a different list of banned books. Pink’s X post also drew ire from some conservatives.
