MIAMI -- Demonstrators convened outside the Miami-Dade County school board building Tuesday to protest a Spanish-language travel book about Cuba that some Cuban immigrants feel doesn't belong on school shelves.

"Vamos a Cuba" was pulled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas Elementary School earlier this month after a parent who emigrated from the communist country complained to school administrators that the book doesn't accurately represent life there.

The book is geared toward second- and third-grade readers, and details the events and institutions in Cuba born under Fidel Castro's regime.

School officials said the book includes images of smiling children wearing uniforms of a communist youth group and a carnival celebrating the Cuban revolution of 1959.

In a letter to the school board, Superintendent Rudy Crew states that the book paints those events in a benign way and has called for the removal of the book from all schools.

But the school board voted 6-3 against yanking the book from school shelves, instead leaving it up to individual schools to decide.

The English-language edition of the book is titled "A Visit to Cuba."
