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.
