For years, Florida has been at the vanguard of removing books from school libraries. Florida Republicans, including Governor Ron DeSantis (R), insisted that school librarians were seeking to "groom" children with pornographic materials. Florida's Republican legislature passed — and Ron DeSantis signed — several pieces of legislation that made it easier to take books off the shelves of the state's public schools. This was all seen as smart politics, appealing to parents seeking to protect their children from inappropriate content.
Anyone remember that lady that was using the book ban in Texas to remove Scholastic books and do away with the book fair and failed to mention that she was employed by Scholastic’s competitor?
I sure do.
That’s always the fun thing about any law, but especially of really stupid ones. Give people and inch and they will abuse the fuck out of anything for their own gains.
