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.
How about this? Repeal the whole god damned thing and put the books back on the shelves where they belong.
And after they’re all put back on the shelves, if people sincerely believe a book should be removed, let them go in front of the school board, or whatever, pay the $100 a whack, and explain in detail which books need to be banned and why. Cite literal pages, illustrations, and/or quotes, and explain why it’s inappropriate.
Watch how quickly shit like this stops when the people submitting hundreds of frivilous bans at a time when they actually have to have some skin in the game. It’s easy to come up with titles of 2800 books they’ve probably never read; I could probably compile a list like that in an hour. But now let’s see them have to not only cough up the dough for wasting everyone’s time with this frivilous nonsense, but their own time as well not only reading the books but having to stand up there and testify to why it needs to be banned.
