When I was just a substitute teacher in the 90’s I did a week for an English teacher at a suburban HS in Dallas...the subject was Romeo and Juliet.
Here’s a list of books banned, under review in Central Florida schools
The 2022-23 school year is coming to a close, but students and teachers are still seeing people pushing to pull certain books from the shelves within districts across the nation.www.clickorlando.com
It sounds like a large number of those books removed had inappropriate content. Do we know if they were removed from K3 libraries or high school libraries? Article didn’t really specify.
What in the world is your definition of “normal curriculum.” Books that parrot your idea of what is “moral” or “scientific?“ Authors that agree with your appointed “media specialists?” Who gave you the right to decide what is appropriate for my kids? This is just another attempt by the religious right to impose their beliefs on everyone else. It is short sited, ignorant and intended to stifle creativity, tolerance, diversity and science.
So, now we've gone from no books have been banned to yeah there have been but they were all bad.
Yes MAYBE they were removed/banned but AGAIN there’s no information on the process, or who reviewed the information, and if it was removed from a K3 library or from a high school library. How was the information presented?
Reed, since she has me on ignore, ask her why the party of small government feels the need to step into the lives of their constituents and impose their own political and religious beliefs upon them. How can it possibly be the job of any government to play god and deem books that have been on shelves for years suddenly inappropriate?
Oh no, sweetie. You’re seriously relying on democratic underground?
I'd ask for a link to all these Florida schools that have the curriculum you describe but ...
Only if the ”facts” include the actual facts - such as the REAL reason for the Civil War, and yes, literature and how to write objectively without stereotyping and bias, sex education as it actually is, including homosexuality; how to think critically and analyze the truth from lies; the study of religion, including the separation of church and state; the study of hard science and math, including the moon landing. Plus, none of this religious bullshit you twits in the GOP keep trying to foist off on the rest of us. You want your religion, go to your church, but don’t make me if I don’t want to. And don’t put it in schools by banning books that you think are immoral and don’t fit your religion. Actually, the rejection of your philosophy is exactly what this great country was founded upon.
Bottom line: Multiple leftist MSM sites are creating false narratives because the Democrats fear that any candidate not named Trump has a solid shot at winning in 2024.
The truth is always inconvenient for the groomers and commies
Most people just want a decent candidate. I would love a moderate Republican to run. You don't. You are MAGA. As I have stated before, Larry Hogan would mop up Biden but the MAGA cult will determine the nomination. Trump and DeSantis fit the MAGA narrative.
Stop, don’t try to inject truth into a good democrat narrative.
You know who hates RDS? People who don’t live near in Florida. It’s probably a lot like people who hate California’s governor. Oh wait wasn’t there a recall vote for Newsome?
Slavery was a fact, no? The brutal treatment of slaves was a fact, no? The continued subjugation of blacks in the south post-Civil War was a fact, no? Jim Crow - fact. Red-lining - fact. FHA banning home loans to blacks - fact. Lynching - fact. Forced steriliztion into the 1970's - fact.
It seems to me they are banning this book because there is an implied familial relationship, and familial relationships are too mature a topic for elementary students. To be consistent, they should remove any books where a familial relationship is implied. Goldilocks and the Three Bears, etc.
They aren't teaching about slavery or the horrible mistreatment of slaves in Florida? You know this for a fact? Can our Noles tell us if this is true or not?
Do we only teach American slavery or do we acknowledge that slavery predates America by hundreds if not thousands of years? Slavery was and is wrong, we know that better in 2023 than we did in 1623 or 10 BC. Society has evolved.
S.B. 148 in Florida:
I have no idea what's being taught now...nor do you. This isn't about that, dipstick. This is about what's going to be taught if SB 148 becomes law. I know it's difficult but try your best to keep up.
This has nothing to do with what you claimed in the above post. You said they weren't teaching about slavery in Florida. You lied.
I won't deny it...willful ignorance makes me angry and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt there. You might really be that dumb.
Who the eff cares what the superintendent says. They are banning books plain and simple and those who are for it are not very bright. It's funny the anti-indoctrination right wingers want to indoctrinate our kids with their ways.
