Here are the books that were banned in Duval County in Florida. Don’t let the fascists lie to you; it’s not about sex, it’s about white supremacy and misogyny, about making sure that kids don’t start to think for themselves or question anything, that kids with gay parents feel ashamed (or that gay kids learn to stay in the closet where the GOP tolerates them). https://pen.org/banned-books-florida/?fbclid=IwAR3MUhy2VxNRvfSOmPPLKf_yZfi1PliT-VX7RHxt7o7FTMO2jzAQKqxE8xM&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

DeSantis is a fascist. Anyone who supports him is too.

They were banned from being purchased for the Classroom Library project. If a parent wants their child to be exposed to these books, they can get them from local public libraries or order them through the inter library system. Stop fear mongering.

Why would those books be banned from anything?

So you support BANNING books? Why? Do you think there should be more government involvement?

They arent banned. They just arent purchased.

There has never been a time when all books were purchased by all schools.

Until recently, pornography wasnt purchased.

Teachers are not happy.

In an online chat group, one wrote of having a panic attack. Another wondered how the district would adequately replace the hundreds of books she had collected over decades.

Deer Park Elementary third-grade teacher Magen Wilson said she cried upon learning the direction the state law is sending the district.

“Books are incredibly powerful and empowering. They are a safe space to learn about uncomfortable things and provide a safe escape for people of all ages,” Wilson told the Tampa Bay Times via email. “I feel like children are now being robbed of those needed experiences.”

She said throughout her 14 years teaching, she’s put together a set of books in which her students can find themselves, so they can feel the literature includes them. Creating a cookie-cutter selection doesn’t allow for the variety of situations that teachers see, she said.

Also

At the same time, the district has removed access to the Pasco County public library system through students’ online district portal. It did so after hearing parents detail how children could access adult-oriented materials through the system.

I devoured books when I was in elementary school. I remember specifically my teacher giving me her preview copy of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in 2nd grade because she thought I'd like it. And it inspired in me a life-long love of science fiction.

Limiting books to children is the OPPOSITE of what an educational system should be doing.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is one of my all-time favorite books. Why are you equating that book to books which aren't appropriate for children because they might contain pornographic images or themes? Bizarre.

Why are these teachers such drama queens? There will be plenty of books in their classroom - probably all the same books they currently have. They're simply going to be reviewed to make sure nothing like "Gender Queer" appears there. This is not hard to comprehend.

You are the drama queen. And a liar to boot.

Who are you to say what is pornographic?

???? I guess if the book depicts cartoon characters in compromising positions instead of actual people, it's not considered pornographic in your mind.

Sex is not pornography.

And those books were for upper grades, exactly the time kids need to be learning about sex.

"Learning about sex" does not equate to learning about using dildos, you absolute imbecile.

Which of the books banned in Duval County elementary schools have dildos in them? The biography of Sonia Sotomayor?

Gender Queer has a pic of simulated oral sex on a dildo.

That book is not in any elementary school.

Glad some parents are fighting back against DeSantis's gross overreach into teenaged girls' periods. What a disgusting pervert he is. It's sickening that so-called "conservatives" support his horrible peeping.

As the Florida High School Athletic Association Board of Directors prepares to consider a proposal that would mandate questions about girls’ menstrual cycles as a requirement to compete in sports, a Florida mom is launching a new campaign to stop the measure from being approved.

Jenn Meale Poggie is spearheading the “Privacy. Period!” campaign ahead of the scheduled meetings Feb. 26-27.

“Teenaged girls’ menstrual cycles are private, and any conversations or disclosure about them should be among the girl, the parents and their physicians. Requiring disclosure about periods to athletic departments is a complete overstep and violation of privacy,” Meale Poggie said. “Athletic departments need to stay out of health care and respect female athletes’ privacy.”

Oh sorry we’re only allowed to mention that your beloved DeSantis was an actual groomer once? And it’s not newsworthy that his main primary competition is blasting it out all over social media, today? OK, good luck with that.

This has been debunked already.

You need better sources of news, and less paranoia.

No, it hasn't been debunked at all. It's at the stage where the state is proposing requiring all female athletes to turn over details about their periods. Now is exactly the time to speak out against this gross, disgusting invasion of privacy.

In addition to everything else, DeSantis is one of those lifelong, Catholic christians, and there’s increasing evidence that religion practices racism and christian-nationalism.
