DeSantis signs bill targeting explicit books in Florida schools

Any book desantis wants to ban is guaranteed to get a huge increase in sales. Tennessee’s banning of Maus pushed it to #9 in the bestseller list after being nowhere near the top 1,000 for decades.

So, sure ‘ban’ all the books you want. Let freedom ring at the cash registers.

DeSantis signs bill targeting....

Targeting stupid people.

Florida man sure makes the left super mad.

im also proud to be a Florida man. We don’t want our children reading this filth at school. Parents can buy it for their homes if they want.

Florida man sure makes the left super mad.

I can’t speak for the left as you claim to do but in my case all he does is make me laugh.

I think it’s great he’s busy with the really important stuff like this, forcing ‘meditation’ time in schools and suing Facebook. Keeps him out of trouble and gives us a giggle every now and then.

Yes, just like when the left banned some books from Dr.Seuss and other popular childhood characters.

So, sure ‘ban’ all the books you want. Let freedom ring at the cash registers.

I agree, whether right or left both sides are foolish if they think they can ban books and the people that want them can obtain them from somewhere else.

As well as keeping his popularity up. It’s a win win.

Yep President 2028 is on the horizon for DeSantis, giggle all you want.

He is doing everything we expected him to do and doing it well. Compare that to what happened to the Dem preferred candidate he ran a

Saying Florida public schools are making sexually explicit books available to children, Republican Gov Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday to give parents a say in what books schools can and can't have in their libraries.

Makes perfect sense. Public schools, parents of children attending such schools. They certainly should have a say.

If certain woke literature doesn't reach children during their study time, so be it; healthier for everyone.

You’re dreaming.

He is doing everything we expected him to do and doing it well.

You haven’t been following his achievement record. He hasn’t done anything of any importance.

You agree desantis is foolish. That’s a big step.

Banning books is just as counterproductive as cruz yelling “do you know who I am?” at the airport. You’d be better off not doing anything.

What an absolute clown....but he isn't stupid....

He's knows he can manipulate and fool the far-righters with his MAGA-theater....and that's all it is - performance art...

Ban books but give anyone who wants one a gun with no training and no license, and allow then to carry it around concealed...because books have murdered more school kids than guns...

Welcome to MAGA-craziness....

I think the books belong in the library. Whether a school wants to pay to have them is a school board decision.

Whether they should be used in class or not is a separate question.

I'm inclined to have the parents decide which controversial books can be used for full-class lessons for anyone under 18 yrs old.

In high school, the biology book had pages glued together on human reproduction. The teacher seemed more embarrassed about the glued pages than anything. She read from a card an exact statement that was approved by the school board.

If you know your child is struggling with gender, then as a parent, you should have many more conversations than would could happen in a school environment about it. I don't know how I'd handle that, but we'd want to talk about it. Mom would usually break the ice on those types of conversations - not an interrogation - just a chat.

For a family where the parents are very strict with their ideas about gender (and usually religion) I don't think the school has a place in offering controversial ideas. I wouldn't mind if a teacher who recognized someone struggling handing the name and author of a book to help a student learn more. No need to have an entire grade/class in on the discussion when over 95% of the students aren't struggling with gender.
