Students, educators, & parents in FL are desperately in need of change during 2024 Legislative Session (opening today). The Freedom to Learn Act filed in both the Florida House and Senate seeks to correct many of the unnecessary censorship issues caused by past legislation.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is hit with more devastating news as a prominent Democratic Senator comes out in favor of banning Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — which bans insurrectionists from holding office ever again. In a bombshell new interview,…
Photos of covered shelves in @ecpsfl libraries are raising concerns among parents and citizens. One parent says it’s “incredibly ironic” that organizations such as @Moms4Liberty are touting book removals as “parental choice” since she wasn’t given one. wuwf.org/local-news/202…
What’s NOT in the AA History standards is also important. Educators can have their certification challenged by any parent that believes they “instructed” on topics of racism/discrimination in an age inappropriate way. And “age-appropriate” is defined by what is in the standards.

"The conversations we're having at an administrative level of how to protect our staff in the library are something I don't think I would've ever considered five years ago.” nextavenue.org/librarians-in-…
That’s between me and my kids. @LibraryComic #IntellectualFreedom
YES!
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.
Ridiculous
Censorship is happening in FL. @veronikellymars of Book Riot gave a wonderful explanation of what causes soft and self-censorship last week in her Literary Activism newsletter (you should subscribe), and we wanted to create a visual to expand on her definition.
New info out of Manatee Schools. The list they share online does not tell the whole story of how the restrictions/removals came to be and what’s still to come. You can see their list here: manateeschools.net/Page/11583

In 1984. Recent law school grad Greg Abbott was jogging in the affluent Houston, Texas suburb of River Oaks. When he jogged past Divorce attorney Roy Moore's home. A giant oak tree broke and tragically fell on Greg Abbott. Crushing his spine and leaving him paralyzed. Uninsured…
“The complaint said the Lake County school district had “cited no legitimate pedagogical reason for its decision.” The lawsuit went on to argue that…‘Tango’ was restricted for illegitimate, narrowly partisan and political reasons.” nytimes.com/2023/06/20/boo…
More evidence of the chilling effect of HB1069 - the new law that goes into effect on 7/1/23. @OCPSnews has advised their media specialists doing summer approvals of classroom libraries to immediately reject books for any depiction or description of “sexual conduct.”
🧵Ta-Nehisi Coates’ acclaimed memoir Between the World and Me was removed from an advanced placement course in South Carolina after students complained it made them feel “ashamed to be Caucasian."
BREAKING: Retired U.S. Army general blasts Trump in a devastating rant — and destroys every single one of his Republican enablers who are claiming that Trump “did nothing wrong” when he stole military intel. First, the former general set his sights on Donald Trump, declaring…
Overheard: "What’s with all the orange smoke?" asked Piglet. "Oh, that's Trump's ass getting burned by the Rule of Law,” replied Pooh.
Here’s a reminder that a number of FL districts BANNED this book after the Governor mischaracterized it in a March press conference. No review - just took his word for it. Volusia even ignored a committee decision to retain it: orlandosentinel.com/2023/05/24/flo…
