There are more than 200+ books banned by school districts in Florida. The governor has also banned several math books.

[THE_DEVIL]

According to PEN America, which tracks book-banning incidents, Florida tallied the third-highest number of school book banning incidents in the nation, trailing only Texas and Pennsylvania.

 

[Joes Place]

...and the last political group that was big on banning books rhymed with "Yahtzees"....

 

[DooBii]

"Banned". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

"Banned". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Its in the thread title-

banned by school districts​

 

[Joes Place]

"Banned". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Yes. He does.

Ur same buddies here shut down an entire library, because it had LGBTQ books in it.

 

[DooBii]

And all are readily available to any family that would like them. They are just not offered in school.

 

[DooBii]

Yes. He does.

Ur same buddies here shut down an entire library, because it had LGBTQ books in it.

Um, yes he does what? Lol

 

[Joes Place]

And all are readily available to any family that would like them. They are just not offered in school.

One of the books your Yahtzee buddies banned was The Diary of Anne Frank.

 

[The Tradition]

Tonya took the MetroRail to the abortion clinic, while Jaylen took an Uber to the gender affirmation clinic. If the average speed of the MetroRail is 30 mph and the average speed of the Uber in stop-and-go traffic is 35 mph, but is briefly detained by an unwarranted police stop, who gets to their clinic first?

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Nothing burger. Lots of people have no interest in mathematics. Math for republicans who like short words.

 

[lucas80]

Florida. The state where a group of civic minded folks can’t even donate dictionaries to their local school district because off some poorly thought out play for the bottom of the GOP base.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

And all are readily available to any family that would like them. They are just not offered in school.

Soooo...they're...banned.

 

[Joes Place]

Soooo...they're...banned.

Libs need to get a website up for banned books:

www.LetsGetTheBannedBackTogether.com

Type in your zip code and it shows you where banned books are available, locally, or you can sign up for E-Library access...

Somebody told them the math books were full of *gasp* Arabic numerals.

Do you believe The Diary of Anne Frank should be banned from school libraries? If so, why?

 

[DooBii]

Do you believe The Diary of Anne Frank should be banned from school libraries? If so, why?

I do not.

 

[DooBii]

Huh, I can only find stories about a graphic novel adaptation of Anne frank that wasn't written by her. That can't be true. You guys wouldn't lie through your teeth for political reasons would you. Oh wait....

 

[DooBii]

Do you believe The Diary of Anne Frank should be banned from school libraries? If so, why?

Do you believe the actual diary of Anne frank is being banned? If not why are you full of this shit?

 

[DooBii]

One of the books your Yahtzee buddies banned was The Diary of Anne Frank.

Link?

 

[sober_teacher]

so if it was the graphic novel version, who cares? why ban it?

I thought cancel culture was bad.

[DooBii]

so if it was the graphic novel version, who cares? why ban it?

I thought cancel culture was bad.

Did you look at what was in it and read the reviews?

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

According to PEN America, which tracks book-banning incidents, Florida tallied the third-highest number of school book banning incidents in the nation, trailing only Texas and Pennsylvania.

So not a truthful post . The books are not banned, just not taught in school. Big difference.

 

[DooBii]

Got real quiet in here.

 

[RileyHawk]

Do you believe the actual diary of Anne frank is being banned? If not why are you full of this shit?

I'm sure it is somewhere. I asked a question.

Do you think the books being banned by the school should be banned. If not, what should be done?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Banned". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

They are just not offered in school.

Lol.

FTR, I’m not opposed to having certain books removed from school libraries, but, yes, lol, the title is correct. The books are banned from school libraries. That is precisely what that word means.

😝

 

[The Tradition]

I'm sure it is somewhere. I asked a question.

Do you think the books being banned by the school should be banned. If not, what should be done?

School libraries have ALWAYS blacklisted certain books. Are you suggesting that anything goes? Whatever the loony school librarian wants to put on the shelves?

 

[tarheelbybirth]

I do not.

Well, according to *checks my notes* you...it hasn't been banned so we're all good.

 

[DooBii]

I'm sure it is somewhere. I asked a question.

Do you think the books being banned by the school should be banned. If not, what should be done?

They are not banned. They are not provided by the school. Your disingenuous gotcha has backfired.

 

[tarheelbybirth]

School libraries have ALWAYS blacklisted certain books. Are you suggesting that anything goes? Whatever the loony school librarian wants to put on the shelves?

You mean the person who is trained to choose age-appropriate, challenging, enlightening literature for a school? That "loony"? Yeah, you making the choices is so much better.

 

[DooBii]

You mean the person who is trained to choose age-appropriate, challenging, enlightening literature for a school? That "loony"? Yeah, you making the choices is so much better.

With no oversight? You think that one person should decide for all?

 

[tarheelbybirth]

They are not banned. They are not provided by the school. Your disingenuous gotcha has backfired.

"Banned". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

 

[The Tradition]

You mean the person who is trained to choose age-appropriate, challenging, enlightening literature for a school? That "loony"?

Guaranteed to be pure 100% liberal.

 

[DooBii]

Ok. Inappropriate literature might be banned from schools. Do you think nothing should be banned from schools?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

They are not banned. They are not provided by the school. Your disingenuous gotcha has backfired.

😆

I think you spiked the football prematurely, Doobs.

 

[DooBii]

😆

I think you spiked the football prematurely, Doobs.

It's a dishonest argument, but you are right. They were banned from schools. Do you think nothing should be banned from schools?

 

[tarheelbybirth]

With no oversight? You think that one person should decide for all?

Are you a f'n idiot? They have just as much "oversight" as any other person in the school. There is an entire DEPARTMENT in your school district with central office leadership and guidance making those decisions. You, on the other hand, would advocate for a handful of idiotic parents deciding to B-A-N books for everyone else's children...including The Diary of Anne Frank

You should stop talking about things you do not understand.
