Fahrenheit 451, coming soon, to a Florida school near you!

Why cover them though? Just burn them! A certain Austrian artist did just that, and he is one of the major historical figures now. Aim for the stars, Florida!

Is this one of these "freedoms" Americans always talk about?

Mm this seems somewhat familiar, surely it won’t end badly?

I don´t understand how can Americans be still so proud of their country.

Wow. just wow. So sad.

WTF? Doesn't Florida have more to focus on and worry about?

Wow! That's a dystopian horror story right there

Florida here: We just held primarys for the upcoming November elections. All the members of the movement to ban books from school got booted from school boards. Internet lumps everyone together but reality is a small group of ultra Christian folks started this and the Governor is part of that crew. If the book’s discus Racial Identity, gender identity, homosexuality, or a point of view of history outside the Christian extreme (think slavery) they get pulled for review. Here’s where the sensational story ends. The review boards deny the ban and the book goes back. Unfortunately, this takes forever so the group that band them wins for a good bit of time. Same group that’s banning books is the group that voted to basically make abortion illegal in Florida after 18 days or something ridiculous. - We are Witnesses to the last stand of the American Christian Evangelicals. To be clear, not the last stand of Christianity but a certain group. Basically the ones who think Jesus was a white guy.

Big Brother manifesting

Does anyone know if there's been pushback or protests?

w-where are the books-

¡volvieron al medioevo! :-O

And I thought I would never move there because of the weather. Lol

BEYOND STUPID!!!

wow

So typical...

This is insane... No book should be hidden, unless it can be proven it is unsafe or violates laws.

Happily Florida and Texas are not all of the US. All the free thinking US citizens need to vote this time. For Non American Pandas: We do not just vote for a presidential candidate on the first Tuesday in November, we vote on many propositions etc, that deal with more local issues.. As an expat Californian, I vote by mail, and my ballot/voting packet is the size of a Sunday newspaper.

DeSantis idiocy!

Unthinking censorship at its absolute worst. No longer the land of the free.

Total madness.

Where do he ducks from the pond in Manhattan’s Central Park go in winter time? I have the gut feeling that it’s not Florida. (Signed: Holden Caulfield)

This is drama and horse s**t. Anyone that believes this b******t is already brainwashed. Books are only being reviewed because of DELIBERATE attempts to insert massively age-inappropriate books into children's schools. Just like you wouldn't expect a PORN MAG in a school library, these so-called 'BOOKS' also don't belong. Stop child grooming and there is ZERO issue. Progressives have gotten more books 'CANCELED' in the last few years because after nearly 100 years they were 'SUDDENLY OFFENSIVE!!!' than anyone else has. GROW UP. And stop trying to force children to grow up before they should be.

People who don't understand the Florida law will believe this meme...and they'd be wrong. I call BS and think they covered the books to do some repair work at the library and not get the books messy.

Absolutely fake reporting. The law restricted the display of pornographic materials to school kids. Certain libraries are going all drama queen on it, claiming they have to review the materials because yes, if they are displaying pornographic materials to children they can get in trouble. But the notion that they need an appointed team to make that determination on each and every book is risible b******t. And now, I'm going to get voted down for correcting this because we all know who the real censors are.

Cannot have these kids learning stuff at school.

Again, WTAF?
