Florida book bans - the first step before burning

Florida is not banning any books.

It is illegal for teachers to bring unapproved books into a classroom. That is effectively banning them, especially considering that prison is the punishment for bringing books in. That means that a teacher can bring a book everyone agrees is fine, and if it was not specifically approved, that teacher is going to spend a year or two in prison.

It is dangerous to even bring approved books into school. If you accidentally leave the book in school after the renewal deadline, you go to prison for a year or two.
 
Notice how if you object that your kids are being converted to the WOKE Religion at school from the moment they set foot that you are the problem.
 
In revolutions such as this the "OR ELSE!" often includes the elimination of those who are causing a disturbance in the solidarity.

It is not banning them. You can still go out and obtain that book and read it.

Paradox. Irrational.

What specifically is the crime....and the prison term ....for bringing unapproved books into the classroom? And how is it dangerous to bring approved books into school after the renewal deadline?
 
I often receive donations of multiple copies of the same book for school... I mentioned quite a while ago that there was one grouping that I offered to parents if they wished to share with their children ... a few people looked but no one took them....I still have a few copies and if anyone is interested and you want to pay postage I'll be glad to send you a set...https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/27/us/transgender-teens-books.html
 
FB_IMG_1674761327639.jpg t Donations of this book were given to children in the classroom... is this on the going to prison list?
 
I'm almost humiliated to admit that I have former relatives in The Villages who actually voted for Rhonda Santis.
We actually went into the basement storage room and dug out big plastic totes full of old, forgotten family photographs
and purged them so as to have no remaining record of them. Sorry, Dad, but Niblick history needed to be cleaned up,
just like Rhonda Santis would have done it.

No joke. I take this stuff seriously.

Did you let them know? If not, your purge was kind of meaningless...but then again, you don't seem to be the superstitious type...and you do seem happier than you've been in a long time...;)

It is a felony under DeSantis' new law. Felony basically means one year or more in prison, this particular crime has a max of two years. It is for having any books who have not been approved in the last year in the classroom, so missing the renewal deadline means a year or two in prison.

It is easy to miss the yearly renewal. Think about it. You get it approved on Monday, September 1st one year, and Monday, September 2nd the next year, and you have just committed a FELONY!!!

Might you provide a link to the new laws? Thanks...This is fascinating....
Is it a crime for the teacher who has the notification in her classroom that a book report from the banned list gets extra credit?

With a cavalier attitude to criminality like that, you are lucky you are retired. The Florida Law is going to spread to Ohio, and that sort of blatant criminality will no longer be tolerated.

In red states, books in the classroom are becoming a thing of the past.

None of that is true, you know...except that I am lucky to be retired...:) Every system has book review committees...they always have had them... You worry entirely too much about things you don't understand...;)

I understand the concept of a felony very well. I am amazed that somehow you do not understand the concept, but you are probably just pretending to be this dense.
 
Walt said:
It really is too bad. And they took it so far over the top. Can you imagine making it a serious crime to even bring a book into a school? It is diabolically.

And it's tolerated by the local voters.
In many parts of America, idiot office holders are elected by idiot voters.
This is why I'm a partitionist.

The school and teachers are not going to get you out of prison, when you get arrested, so they really are not the issue. This law specifically moves the issue out of school rules and into felony criminal rules. Your union rep will not be able to save you, your only hope would be a criminal lawyer.
