As a result, one Manatee teacher reported being forced to take Sneezy the Snowman and Dragons Love Tacos off the shelves pending review. Other teachers, fearing criminal liability, are telling students not to bring in "unvetted" books from home:

Seems more like it's just "gatekeeper" mentality. Books belong in the library or something, because non-librarians can't be trusted, I guess.

On the negative side, this is a horrible law that will work against student curiosity and encouraging reading. One of my formative memories as a kid was finding a copy of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in my 5th grade teacher's shelf and learning about both speculative fiction and satirical fiction, or as much as my 5th grade mind could handle anyway.

On the positive side, removing all those books will give the teachers plenty of room to store the guns they're allowed to bring to school.

I remember back in the day I thought banned books lists were kind of dumb because the books werent actually banned. If they were actually banned that would only make me want to read them more as a student.

Also got to love the fucking irony of being worried about grooming kids so literally enforcing state-approved reading lists as a felony.

This makes me so angry

I reviewed Dragons Love Tacos for anything sexually tinged, but couldn't see it. You can find readings of it on YouTube. Really baffling.

Ron DeSantis could drop dead and the world would be a better place. You can quote me on that. GTFO with this literal fascism. Needing an approved person to designate what is safe for kids to read, and the government jails them if they ever approve a book that tries to teach tolerance of anything.

Me too, but then I read the article. It's been removed simply because it's not on the approved list yet.

Right, EVERYTHING has to go through an approved list by a licensed media technician, something nt all schools have easy access to.

In the end, this is just government telling a government institution what to do, while private schools are unaffected.
Were someone clever behind this, it would be a useful inverse Cloward-Piven to make public schools even more undesirable.
