A Florida judge this week sided with the state in a challenge by the Florida teachers union over rules that restrict what books and materials are available in classrooms.
The union and two other advocacy groups sued the state in March, saying the way it interpreted a new law about school library books went further than the law intended, leading to censorship and book bans.
The 2022 law requires districts to catalog every book on school shelves and create a formal review process for complaints. Some parents have asked for certain books to be removed from schools because of the new law, and a number of lawsuits have emerged as a result.
Since early 2021, lawmakers in virtually every state have introduced hundreds of bills seeking to restrict learning and materials about controversial topics. Some of the legislation has focused on giving parents more access to and authority over curriculum. At the federal level, House Republicans earlier this year introduced a bill – the Curriculum Review of Teachings (CRT) Transparency Act – that would've required schools to post elementary and secondary school curricula on easily accessible websites.

In his opinion, Florida Administrative Law Judge Darren Schwartz noted that state education department officials said “it would be illogical not to include classroom libraries within the definition of ‘library media center’ because it would be illogical to adopt a rule about safeguarding children from having access to inappropriate materials in one central location, yet have those inappropriate materials available to students in a classroom next door.”
They can always go to the big library for their porn...every town has one. Mom can drive you. She’ll understand your lust for porn. s/
The article reads that this concerns controversial topics. That is misleading. It pretty much concern 1 controversial topic. Inappropriate sexual material. This is not a bunch of blue stockings hunting out Tropic of Cancer but concerned parents keeping their children out of the hands of groomers who use books such as “This is Gay” to persuade children that they are ready for sexual activity.
These perverts and sickos in public education dedicate so much of their efforts into everything other than actually educating children...
And then in another school district, a school board told 84% of parents who objected to sexualized curriculum content to go pound sand, and that majority doesn’t always rule.
Get your children out of public schools.
Gee I wonder why we haven’t seen this in the local Miami media?
Instead the local “journalists” are doing 5 minute hit pieces on Ron DeSantis and civil lawsuits against south Florida Republicans.
Book banning? Then you could also say that Florida has banned alcohol because they aren’t serving beer in elementary school cafeterias.
“Book banning? Then you could also say that Florida has banned alcohol because they aren’t serving beer in elementary school cafeterias.”
That’s a great analogy. I can’t believe that we have teacher’s unions actually suing to have porn available in public school libraries and classrooms. I’m all for the First Amendment and being able to purchase whatever book “floats your boat”, although I believe the insistence on pushing such materials on society is evidence of sick and twisted minds.
However, to insist that such material should be, not only available for children, but that they also be encouraged to read it by teachers is evidence of how far Satan has infiltrated our school systems and society at large.
