"The 1000+ books they reference have not been banned or removed from the school district; rather, they have simply been pulled for further review to ensure compliance with the new legislation. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous and counterproductive."
They get off on this censoring, after all, this prurient fascination with controlling sexual information for young people is itself, well, one didn't need to be Freud to see this (have the Florida nazis gotten around to banning him yet?)
I learned pretty much everything I know about sex from books. I was in 4th grade when a library book I checked out of the public library informed me that sexual intercourse was a thing "married adults" did. It was written for kids!! Then later on when I was 18 years old I tried it out. So, see!! Also the . rest of the 4th grade girls learned about it too. I was a very sharing individual.
It looks like they just went through and tagged every single book. It's weird, though, they banned a lot of Judy Blume, but not Are you there, God.... I've been a middle school librarian, and a public librarian, and a lot of these banned books are completely arbitrary.
Supposedly, after Samuel Johnson published his A Dictionary of the English Language, two women complimented him for omitting the "naughty" words. He replied "What, my dears! Then you have been looking for them?"
(It may be an urban legend, but if it is, it should be true.)
I'd joke that Florida will ban the alphabet next, because it can be used to spell things like:
* sex
* gay
* race
* woke
* Disney
* Please, for the love of humanity, don't vote for any Republicans, I don't care if it's just county commission and the candidate is the coach of your kid's soccer team, none of them, at all.
But that might give them ideas so pretend I didn't write that.
..." They should probably finish reviewing this current tranche of 1000+ books some time before Florida voters get sick of this and vote out DeSantis and his crew of idiots. Maybe."
Never going to happen- Maga American moves to Florida specifically for the racism and censorship. We're self sorting
eliminate schools altogether. I mean, that’s the logical end point of all this, right? Ain’t nobody need no book larnin’ and just think of all the money FL could funnel to the GOP donor class!
DeStalin is term-limited as governor. Here’s hoping he is returned to the shit-heap of history once he is no longer dictator of FL.
How do you ban a dictionary? Is DeSatan worried that someone will look up asshole and see his face? Or maybe some other part of his anatomy?
So I suppose biology courses are right out?

Fuck you, you fucking book burners.

I've had the New York steamer at Firehouse Subs.
Is the Cleveland steamer a new sandwich they're offering? Sounds yummy.
"and can you believe the bastards pulled all five books in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy?"
I blame Eccentrica Gallumbits.
yeah, Cleveland is definitely too racy to be in the dictionary.

At this point, Florida should just go for it:
eliminate schools altogether. I mean, that’s the logical end point of all this, right? Ain’t nobody need no book larnin’ and just think of all the money FL could funnel to the GOP donor class!
So, was a specific devise a hoax or is it all of them?
