[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above video is chilling.

What they are doing to Disney is downright illegal.

Anyone who doesn't see this is ignorant or evil.[/quote]

In what way is that video "chilling"?  It was a very straightforward explanation of the review process, not "chilling" at all.  Please explain why you want to provide children with inappropriate material?[/quote]

Inappropriate to whom? Some random parent or right wing nut job?

You know this is just a fear campaign.[/quote]

That might be your opinion, but it's not mine.  In reality, the "fear campaign" is coming from the overwrought and histrionic left, who are pushing misinformation, as usual.

Wow talk about propaganda.[/quote]

That snopes link says that yes, teachers are being warned that any books could bring a third degree felony charge.

The vagueness of the law is the point. It is used to create an atmosphere of fear.

Here's exactly what it says.  The directives didn't come from DeSantis or his administration at all:

"These directives, it should be noted, came from officials in those districts interpreting the laws passed by the Florida State Legislature, and not from the State Department of Education or DeSantis.

Strictly speaking, [b]it is true that the bill does not impose penalties on educators. The text of HB 1467 does not impose any penalties.[/b] It instead mandates that only approved books be included in any school or classroom library, and that approval must come from a certified media specialist.

HB 1467 does not, itself, impose felony penalties on educators for leaving unapproved books in their classroom collections, nor does it explicitly require any educator to cover the library with paper or anything of that nature. However, training materials provided [b]at the county level [/b]for the express purpose of educating teachers on the new law explicitly recommended covering unapproved books and warned of third-degree felony penalties for the distribution of books deemed harmful to children under a pre-existing anti-pornography law."[/quote]

Because County lawyers told the districts they and their teachers could be CHARGED WITH A FELONY because the law is vaguely wriiten.[/quote]
