There is nothing inappropriate about the books.
That depends on what you think is appropriate for classroom use and instruction...

Cool.
Thanks... it was really a wonderful career... and teaching is something you can always stay connected to in so many ways...

I think they are perfectly appropriate for classroom use and instruction. Such a decision should not be made by a governor, but a local elected school board.
That depends on what books were talking about you'll have to give me an example of what you think is appropriate... I absolutely understand why Governors are stepping in to help make critical decisions when it comes to our schools...

Special education is individualized ...that's what's so wonderful about it...I guess that self-contained classrooms aren't something that many are familiar with... that's understandable... Schools set up special education programs to meet the needs of their students....

These days some local systems aren't doing very well so they need a little help... things are slowly but surely getting back to normal... I see changes daily and it's very encouraging... parents are really getting involved... much more so than in the past and that's making a huge difference...It should be a local decision.
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.
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!!!
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.
