Florida book bans - the first step before burning

[Doc Dutch]

Ron DeSantis is still riding on Trump's White Supremacist coattails, but that may blow up in his face when it comes to garnering votes in a national election. Most Americans dislike Nazis, White Supremacists and other haters.

The present tactic seems to be for Florida's far Right leadership to pass vague laws then threaten or selectively prosecute teachers for violating the law and/or abusing children. Due to low pay, most teachers can't afford defending themselves in court so they simply remove all and any books that could violate the law as interpreted by RW wackadoodles.

There is no ban list, just the power of the State to threaten the freedom of teachers and their livelihood. This is more insidious than simply producing a banned list of books like the Torah, the Quran and Catcher in the Rye because it intimidates teachers and school administrations to simply get rid of anything that might be controversial. The effect will be a generation of ignorant Floridian voters who won't be able to compete with better educated Americans. In the end, Florida will become dumber and poorer in the quest to make Florida white again.

Florida schools start removing books amid reviews prompted by limits in law

School districts across Florida have grappled with the state’s new law regarding the selection of library books, and the associated training required for media specialists.

Many educators have complained that the vague language makes it difficult to know what books they can keep available for students. Some worry that other laws, targeting instruction of race and gender issues, might spill over into the question of which titles they have in their libraries and classrooms.

In Pinellas County, that confluence of factors resulted in the removal of prize-winning author Toni Morrison’s first book, “The Bluest Eye,” from all high schools. The district acted after one parent complained about the book in one class at one high school. Read more here.

The Manatee County School Board was slated to hold a special meeting Tuesday to deal with concerns that teachers were removing books from their classrooms because of the laws, WFTV reports. The district had sent out a memo saying violation of the law could result in felony charges.

It's funny how you filthy leftist maggots don't like being told to sit down and shut the fuck up but don't mind saying it to everyone else. FTL

Evidently DeSatan also loves the poor-educated; he seems determined to create as many of them as possible. Authoritarians want unquestioning citizens, those who are obedient at all times to authority. None of that critical thinking stuff in Reichwingland!

When will you start murdering "filthy leftist maggots", Yak? Or are you just a lame-assed geezer who is all mouth?

I know exactly what you mean, a rabid racist who expects unquestioned obedience might say something like

"If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black"

It's amazing to me how fucking stupid you people are. You dont seem realize that people can actually look up your hypocrisy. You seem to really believe the bullshit you pump out.

I have no desire to kill anyone unlike you who can only project your perverse desires onto others. You seem quite ready and eager to do it. Filthy leftist maggot.

You lie about me and other Americans all the time along with spreading violent hatred. Am I really supposed to believe you wish no one harm?

Yes, I fully support putting down violent assholes seeking to harm or murder innocent Americans. They should be treated like rabid dogs. It's the right thing to do. <--- see what I did there? LOL

I dont give a fuck what you believe. Facts dont become facts because dutch uncle believes it. You understand that right? I know this is difficult for your kind to comprehend but things aren't true simply because you believe them. You people can't separate dislike for an issue from dislike for a person. Im going to try to talk to you like you're an adult with a connect brain stem for a minute.

I posted a story about a hockey player that refused to wear queer gear for personal religious reasons when his team was celebrating pride night. I say good for him as he shoukd be free to decide whether or not he wants to wear it. Morons like you think that means I hate gay people. Refer to the previous paragraph dutch uncles beliefs don't equal truth or facts. I don't hate gays I hate being told I must do whatever gay people say. Not the same at all.

See, Yak? You just lied about me again. No doubt to cover up your violent streak.

A teacher at my kids school keeps a list on her wall of "Books the Government does not want you to read" and offers extra credit for a report on any of them.

How long till DeSantis has her fired?

Yup, do you know how many teachers are in this huge district?

Man, you are so woke you are supporting the banning of books!

I imagine a lot...not as many as in my district, however...why? If you're posting this so casually you can be sure that it's no secret...and a parent who feels differently from you will find out and report it...

They won't bother with firing her; they'll jail her instead. Good for her, btw. She is a courageous hero, like most teachers.
