Wow, that’s a terribly bad faith presentation. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/possible-teach-in-at-oakland-schools-would-present-palestinian-perspective-to-students/

Here’s the lesson plan linked via the above article. It appears to teach what Senator Wiener claims about as much as the Florida book bans are about porn. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1yHuTs87SSfWaM6qeM6y3RXgEOzjiKF_c75fLMN-2fZk/mobilebasic#h.pg1gql1c1zfc

I’m so sick of people misrepresenting arguments and pretending to take the high road. [/quote]You mean the way leftists misrepresent the curation of school library collections as "book bans?"[/quote]

Curation should be done librarians for the benefit of the schoolchildren - not Fox News addled nincompoops who've never read a book on their own.[/quote]Can you vote a single example of a parent walking into a school and unilaterally taking books out of a library?  If not, your simply spouting nonsense.  And I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm a Democrat.  As such, I don't watch much Fox News.[/quote]

Many more examples linked in here:
[b]Hundreds of books are usually banned by just ONE person in a community[/b]
https://action.everylibrary.org/books_are_often_banned_by_just_one_person_in_a_community[/quote]I don't know of anyplace in the US where someone other then the superintendent can unilaterally remove a book from school circulation.  Was that the case here?[/quote]

Stop embarrassing yourself. States like Florida have written laws that say any person can object to a book and have it removed from schools.

[/quote]That sounds false.  Can you quote the statute?[/quote]

It sounds false because it's utterly preposterous, yet it's true. And easily found. 
HB 1069. Specifically: 
Any material that is subject to an objection on the basis of sub-sub-subparagraph b.(I) or sub-sub-subparagraph b.(II) must be removed within 5 school days of receipt of the objection and remain unavailable to students of that school until the objection is resolved.

Spoiler alert - they aren't exactly going lickety split to resolve these objections. And yes, any objection. By anyone. Using their website and filling out a form, which is the other part of the bill.

[/quote]Ah, thank you.  So the removal is temporary until reviewed by the school district.  Sounds good.  The way to prevent this would be for the school district to review all books before putting them in the shelves.[/quote]

with a criteria that's constantly changing? How about trusting a professional. 
In my state, the legislature was very clear on what needed to be removed. It wasn't up to the school board. [/quote]Given my experience with our school librarian it's clear that one person cannot be trusted to make decisions like this. So should be up to a committee at the state level.[/quote]

You sound like a communist. [/quote]I doing like some who has seen an insane leftist masquerading as a librarian do a lot of damage to an entire school population.  And in the US, states regulate education so that is the most logical and efficient place for books to be reviewed, though a school district might be a better option.  But just go ahead and admit that you want porn in schools.[/quote]
