Florida book bans - the first step before burning

[Walt]

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.

You will be taught to OBEY......OR ELSE!

[Hawkeye10]

In revolutions such as this the "OR ELSE!" often includes the elimination of those who are causing a disturbance in the solidarity.

So?

That is effectively banning them,

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

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.

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/u...ens-books.html

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.

As is the ability to read.

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...
