You claim you are retired. You are a busy retired?
Seriously, if you were a licensed teacher, and claimed you are "too busy" to document issues, you really should not have had a license.
You believe having to get everything pre-approved by the state government will allow teachers to teach again? They are already having to spend days getting books approved. That is days they are not teaching.

Plus they spend weeks prepping kids for the standardized tests, and refreshing the students' knowledge at the beginning of the new school year. BTW, your rebuttal to "too busy" was perfect. My daughter has kids six hours day. She spends several more hours making lesson plans, documenting that day's activities, finding new material to present, and so on. Her typical work day is 9-10 hours. She also spends some of her own money on supplies and learning materials. Now just imagine if those materials and those lessons plans had to be pre-approved by some govt. agent. That's what is going on in FL.

I expect that that is exactly what's going to happen. Every class has a troublemaker -- either a student or a parent, or both. I'm sure FL teachers can just imagine if a parent or a kid with a bad parent gets it in for her. Parent gets banned book, has little Billy Bob take it to school and plant it, or claim that Mrs. Jackson gave it to him and *boom* -- Mrs. Jackson is not only fired but looking at arrest.

Everyone should be careful to avoid crimes. As a licensed health care provider I am bound by state laws to report any suspected abuse of a child, an elder, or any other patient or person under my care. Ditto for teachers and other school or care facility employees. This is a good thing that protects the public and makes sure that those who are trusted with care for the vulnerable will do the right thing.

I think most Americans are against autocrats and book-burners, Sailor, just like they are against pedophiles, rapists and murderers..Nazis are all three. Is it really a wonder why most Americans and good people all over the world hate Nazis...pedo Nazis or otherwise?
