Who decides what's inappropriate content? FFS you are part of the problem. They are banning books. You are for it which is anti-constitution.
Teacher fired after DeSantis says bookshelf video was ’fake narrative’

How about me, if you are teaching children about gender studies or queer theory, gender fluidity or the sexualization of children, that is inappropriate and those books need to be removed from public schools. Schools are designed to education our children so they can survive and flourish in adulthood not to indoctrinate with fringe political theory. If you disagree then you are the problem not DeSantis.
The superintendent is a Dr. and is black. So there are plenty of people that care what she says.
So what was that, a few books?
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
Yes, those are my words. If you are still unclear as to what is right and wrong, let me know.
Show me where in the constitution it references or indicates anything about removing books.
I'm guessing it's the same people that decide Mrs. Butterworth and Uncle Ben are racist. And that the word "Cloud Men" need to be changed to "Cloud people" in a book where the author specifically put "Cloud Men" for a reason. I agree those people are part of the problem.
Becasue I clearly answered a question that was based on an incorrect premise to begin with and he wasn't swift enough to understand that.
Then your buddy chimed in with a lie and called me a liar. I assume your next post will be directed at him? Yes?
And after he was shown that it was a lie, he has yet to acknowledge it compouinding his error.
Seems like a lot of people are making this a R and L thing— banning books is probably one of the most bipartisan things happening in the past couple decades. Clearly we know about the right wanting to ban books they deem gay and over sexualized for certain or all grades, but just a year or so ago the left was banning Dr Seuss books for “racist” connotations.
No they don't need to be removed. That's book banning and it sets a dangerous precedent. Schools are designed to create intellectual curiosity in kids that will hopefully set them on the path where they are constantly learning and seeking out knowledge through the rest of their lives.
- Queer Theory == Homophobia
- Sexualization of children? Please give specific examples. This isn't happening in school.
- There are some people that identify as another sex. Who care's. It harms no one.
Book banning in the United States is a controversial issue that is closely tied to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and the press. While the Constitution does not explicitly address book banning, the Supreme Court has consistently held that censorship and prior restraint on books and other forms of expression are unconstitutional.
The First Amendment protects the right of individuals to express themselves freely, without fear of government censorship or interference. This right extends to all forms of expression, including books, magazines, newspapers, and other written materials. The government is generally prohibited from censoring or banning books, except in certain limited circumstances, such as when they contain obscenity, incitement to violence, or other forms of illegal content.
In the United States, book banning is generally viewed as a violation of the First Amendment, and efforts to ban books are often met with legal challenges. However, it's important to note that private institutions, such as schools and libraries, may have their own policies and procedures for selecting and removing books from their collections. While these policies must also be consistent with the First Amendment, private institutions have more leeway than the government in deciding what materials to include in their collections.
In summary, book banning by the government is generally considered to be against the Constitution and the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and the press. However, private institutions may have their own policies and procedures for selecting and removing books from their collections, provided they do not violate the First Amendment.
Then you aren't very bright. The supreme court has consistently held that banning books is unconstitutional.
My post related to you lecturing about educating others. There's your hint.
I think you should read this to get caught up on who can do what and when first amendment applies.
When are book bans unconstitutional? A First Amendment scholar explains. - Virginia Mercury
The United States has become a nation divided over important issues in K-12 education, including which books students should be able to read in public school.

I see no error in your post - but if a book is placed in a high school library and not in a K3 library it’s not banned.
There was an emphatic statement of no books being banned. That was shown to be plainly false by the link. RIF
Goebbels was a rightie....not a lefty! (Nazis are on the opposite end of the political spectrum from Commies!)
Those companies changed the product as they thought it was the correct change to make. Banning books and changing product logos are mutually exclusive. They aren't even close to the same.
Parents need to be involved. If you don't want your kids reading certain books then make sure they don't read them. I read all sorts of things. My girls are avid readers and read all sorts of things. Books shouldn't be banned period. If you want to shelter your kids from majority send them to private schools.
Removing some material from schools = banned in the USA? So no censorship at all? Full blown pornography, racist material and recruitment and everything should be made available in schools and it's up to the parents to shelter their kids?
Are they teaching about slavery in Florida?
I never said they weren't. You were challenged to quote me saying otherwise. You failed. That was pointed out to you with the quote YOU referenced and yet here both of you are looking even dumber.
Here's what I actually SAID in post #66
And they are trying - I quoted the proposed law. So the obvious conclusion is that either you can't read or you lie to further an objective. Choose one...or both.
Who banned a book? Can no one purchase the books anymore? I’d say there’s a much bigger difference between “making sure a book is age appropriate” and banning it.
Is the Motion Picture Association banning a movie when they make it Rated R? How is this any different than that?
You do understand how the First Amendment works, right? You can refuse to sell a book in your book store. No problems constitutionally. The govt has a higher standard to meet. Now, explain how a true story about two male penguins who bonded and successfully raised a baby penguin isn't "age-apprpriate" for elementary students.
Yeah. That one is stupid. But the book is not banned. The parents or kid can go to any book store and buy it, correct?
People are conflating banned and censorship.
It seems they are and agree to some level of censorship in books available in schools. They just don't seem to agree on what is acceptable to censor or not in some cases. I would have to imagine most on both sides of the political spectrum at least agree on some books and/or magazines/ reading material that should not be available in the libraries.
