Shocked I tell you, shocked!
DeSantis calls for end of ‘abuse’ of book challenges
Again, this is shocking. Who would've thunk it that this might be an issue.
Quote:
Bruce Friedman, the Clay County parent who has challenged hundreds of books in his district, said via email that he did not consider himself part of the problem.
The DeSantis administration and the Florida Legislature failed to provide clear definitions of the many things that threaten the innocence of children in schools, Friedman said. He included the terms “age appropriate,” “reasonably prudent” and “err on the side of caution” among those.

Hopefully, this will allow teachers to bring back book reports, class reading assignments, book fairs, and oral presentations about books students have read.
