Florida teachers rush to hide and audit books in wake of DeSantis law
Washington Examiner ^ | January 25, 2023 | Ryan King

Posted on 01/25/2023 5:45:59 PM PST by Golden Eagle

Officials in Florida's Manatee County School District are scrambling to comply with the state's recently implemented law demanding transparency in school libraries.

Teams of volunteers have been combing through and cataloging the books in the county's roughly 60 schools. They flag any questionable books for review by certified specialists.

Some teachers have covered up their classroom libraries out of fear they could face felony charges under the law that was enacted last year.

"We've got to go classroom by classroom and start to catalog all the books in these classrooms to make sure that they're in our system if they're an approved book," Kevin Chapman, the district's chief of staff, told the Washington Examiner.

"Because that's the law of the land right now in Florida, and if you're found to have an inappropriate book in your classroom, you can be now charged with a third-degree felony."

Explicit material, particularly pornographic material, is prohibited from classrooms under the policy, which was signed into law last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

That teacher's behaviors have to be legislated like this says some really piss-poor things about the current state of our culture.

If I still had young children, I would definitely be home schooling.

“Beware the school librarian that doesn’t wear panties”

How are you in my head when I was 13. The librarian was mid 20’s. I have to assume she wore em but 13.... I would have liked to see.

The most action they’ve had since election night when they rushed the GOP ballots and machine records out to Soros vans and oblivion. Out of breath all night.

I don’t understand why so many “teachers” are pedophiles and sexual deviants. They are taking hands on “sex ed” to a whole new level.

More honesty from the pubic sector.

When you hide something, isn’t it because you’re afraid
you will get caught?

Law of supply and demand. adverse selection.

People who want to drive fast buy fast cars.
People who want to drink do not want to live in a “dry area”
People who want the other sex do not join an order of celibacy.
Most People tend to go where what they want exists.

OTOH, a few people are the opposite. They have a personality that leads them to closed/locked doors.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I would be in favor of eliminating public schools altogether!

And, then the taxes and administrative bloat that accompany them could also be eliminated!

Home schools and private schools work for me!

Sorry about the spelling mishap. I didn’t catch that.

When I wrote ‘the public sector’ was was trying to state
someone who held a government job. I think that was a
poor way of stating it.

I should have addressed it as a government related job.

Didn’t handle that post well. Thanks for the on point
reply.
