Najahe Sherman, a reporter with CBS charged that "when it comes to banning books, Florida comes in second only to Texas." Sherman's statement was based on a study issued by the left-wing group PEN America. According to this study, 566 different books have been banned in 21 of the state's school districts.
Bryan Griffin, a spokesman for the governor's office rebutted the charge, asserting that "we support parents having a course of action to remove pornographic material from the classroom or school library. A decision to cull a book from a classroom or school library because parents convince public officials that it is wrong for certain age groups does not mean the book is 'banned.' Any parent who wants his or her child to read any of these books is free to buy it from a bookstore or online retailer."
Sherman insisted that "empowering parents to have a say in what the school teaches is fundamentally wrong. Teachers are the experts in child education. If, in their judgment, it is appropriate for the child to read pornography it is a violation of their freedom of speech to allow parents to interfere with their decisions. Pornography is a large and growing part of our culture. Instructing students in a way that helps them adjust to and accommodate this new norm should override the prudish and puritanical prejudices of the parents."

They haven’t even started going to work on Desantis.
That guy will be a convicted child molester by the spring of 2024.
Trump however, still standing and fighting.
The MSM is...uh, you know, I don’t even have a word or words to properly describe the MSM’s actions without resorting to lots of foul language.
They won’t stop until they are stopped folks.
How horrible.( Snarc sarc.)
You mean DSantis banned books from schools about how to masturbate your dog? ( sarc.)
And now the left is complaining about it?
Let lefty queer kid groomers play with their own dogs and leave us alone!
Why isn’t this Sherman in prison? Aling with all the teachers and educrats who promote this filth. Life sentences should be the minimum penalty for pushing porn and sex changes on children.
Soon, DeSantis will become a threat significant enough to divert the attention of the All-seeing Eye of Sauron, giving Trump the opportunity finally to destroy it. Just a fool’s hope.
YEP!
YEP^2!
Bookman will investigate.
Nope, try again.
