Guess Florida wants to keep its title of ‘Worst Education System in the 50 states." They were bad when I was a kid in the 60s and, from the sounds of things, they haven’t changed one bit in the last 60 years.
There’s no book banning. They were removed from elementary school libraries. No books were burned. Nobody is arrested for having these books or selling them off of school grounds.
The ones comparing this to the NAZIs are the most ignorant. The NAZIs removed books from all stores and libraries that were of a Jewish nature, or were against the strictures of National Socialism. The works of Mahler and other Jewish composers, artists or authors were banned and burned.
You can go buy your kid any of the “banned” books on Amazon or your local book store, or for that matter, your public library. Your kid can probably bring it to school without any consequences, either.
And some of you fainting over these “bannings” are the same ones that would drag the school board into court if their were a bible on the shelves or in a teacher’s purse. Is it just that the left is angry that they aren’t the ones that always get to choose what is on the shelves with impunity? Would you want Mein Kampf in a middle school library? How about books by Rush Limbaugh?
Several of the books in question were read aloud by a black pastor in a different school board meeting, until he was arrested for public lewdness and dragged out for refusing to stop. Before he was cuffed, he asked why the book could be checked out by a 3rd grader from the school library but he couldn’t read from it.

Not all of Florida is in line with the ‘Gov’. Think about the Keys, especially Key West…

I wouldn’t past them to ban the combination of those letters.
I liked the folks who tried to get the Bible banned since it has some much sex and violence, and of course it is a book of fiction

They also banned the Thesaurus. I’m outraged, incensed, infuriated, enraged and angry!
