Did you read the link? The books are under a temporary review not being removed.


Did YOU read the link? It is censorship amid "a climate of fear" Russia style.


Yes I did and the Orlando paper specified that the books are in a temporary review.


The article quotes an official as saying only a few may eventually be put back.
They should all be put back except for the gay porn and CRT.


Which ones are gay porn?
Genderqueer, Lawn Boy, and This Book Is Gay [Porn].


Those aren't porn and would never qualify as porn in a court of law.
Maybe. But 9 out of 10 parents would consider them porn and would not want their kids reading it.


Then they should police their own kids. Not mine.
This comment is not a good look.


Why? Some parents have become increasingly lazy, and can’t be bothered to talk to their kids about books, or even log into their school account to see what’s been checked out. They decided the state has to remove books so they don’t have to put in the effort.

Judd Legum reports— “The Escambia County School District, located in the Florida panhandle, has removed several dictionaries from its library shelves over concerns that making the dictionaries available to students would violate Florida law. The American Heritage Children's Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary are among more than 2800 books that have been pulled from Escambia County school libraries and placed into storage. The Escambia County School District says these texts may violate HB 1069, a bill signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in May 2023.”

They want their students to be dumb and uneducated so badly.
They don't want them indoctrinated?

Indoctrinated people are dumb and uneducated. “Indoctrinated” in the sense that the GOP wants students are supposed to be children who don’t engage in critical thinking and have no compassion or empathy for anyone outside the accepted in group. That’s why all these books have been vacuumed out of the Florida schools.

how do you figure? you think other parents should decide what my children read? I'll decide that... and leave the library up to an educated professional.

It’s like a headline from the Onion. Except sad because it’s true.
