https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-bookstores-react-to-floridas-banned-books-14296052 Of Mice and Men was one of the books I grew up reading in middle school. What exactly triggered the state into keeping it away from younger folks? I'm also hearing rumors that To Kill a Mocking Bird has been banned in Florida schools as well, though I have yet to see an actual confirmation of this just yet. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think it needs to be pointed out that the ones pushing these book bans are republicans in power and some very fringe, small groups. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/Texas-book-bans-driven-by-GOP-pressure-not-parents-17362170.php At my last paper, we also covered the book bans around November/December because there was this weird fringe group pushing to remove books from our public library. How do I know they were a fringe group? Because there were about a dozen of them in favor of the ban, and hundreds came to the courthouse to protest any potential bans. This was in a town in deep southern Texas where we were regularly (incorrectly) labeled a democrat rag and Beto gets laughed at when he comes to visit (even though he's the ONLY gubernatorial candidate that bothers to visit). The people there are red as red can be and even they were like "WTF are you doing trying to ban these books for?" --- *runs out of topic naked* ... Copied to Clipboard!
