are the books available at bookstores? If so, then they are not banned. If they are removed from school libraries because they are not age appropriate, then they are not banned, they were removed for the same reason you wouldn’t have hustler, or explicit romantic novels in a school library.
That article really didn’t shed light on the books that Florida has banned, I think the best thing is I’ll just look at the list of books Florida has banned and go through some of them to see just what’s in them.
By the way, I think it’s kind of funny what the whole moveon.org thing is doing with the book mobile, where they are driving around handing out books on the banned list for free. They are just wasting money. You see, those books are not banned. They are all probably available at any bookstore in town, they are just not allowed in schools.
So, they are driving around handing those books to people who could readily get them any time they wanted by going to a book store.
Many do.Does it have pictures
The ones in your fevered imagination?like the LGBT smut books do?
^ Hasn't read the Bible.and compared to even a Clifford book, the Bible is tame.
Over 12s only in my view.anyone at an age able to read it can handle it.
Excellent.Nope.
I feel the Bible should be restricted to 12+s, yes.Do you?
If so, you're delusional.I noticed in an earlier post you support WEF/Democrats providing sexually explicit material to 12 year olds.
Sounds about right.You said "I don't believe any "lewd material" was accessible to anyone under 12."
You're delusional.to justify giving porn to kids.
^ More delusion.Why do you support providing "Lewd material" to 12 year olds?
So what?LeVar Burton wants you to read banned books
So, Florida hasnt banned any books.{...
However, a new report by national free speech group PEN America says that Florida school districts banned upward of 1,406 books. The report, which looked at banned materials across the country, found 3,362 instances of books banned in the 2022-23 school year, up 33% from the previous one. Forty percent of those were courtesy of Florida school districts.

Florida has banned nearly 400 books in schools. Here's the full list
With 386 books removed from schools last year, Florida is far and away the leader in book bans in the country.www.pnj.com
That is silly because kids do not have money and cannot "buy" books.
Kids only read books like "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Fahrenheit 451", etc., because it does not cost them anything when it is in a school library.
So by removing these books from school libraries, it is to indoctrinate them in ignorance, not over sexually explicit material.
No, you are simply engaging in a time-honored tactic pioneered by Goebbels: The Big Lie. Keep it simple, and just keep repeating it. Eventually, it is accepted as fact.Yeah, that point has been made several times.
But I am too lazy to type "Banning books in public school libraries", so I assume the people reading the thread will understand.

THAT IS STILL A LIE!No, these are books that are banned.
No, these are books that are banned.
First there are no banned books in Florida. There are books that are not allowed in school libraries. There is a differenceWhat drives people to silence others, and quash the free exchange of ideas?
“When I read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time,” LeVar Burton says, “I couldn’t imagine that situation in my reality. It was a shame, right? Wow. Those poor people in that misguided society. I live in that society now. That dystopian story has become my truth.”
LeVar Burton Wants You to Read Banned Books
Florida, the leading state, banned over 500 books. Florida’s governor is a huge proponent of that. This is massively concerning to the majority of Americans who do not support book bans.
Burton compares the banning of books to attempts to control women's bodies:
"This is part of a movement that we are battling for control over our minds and our bodies."
While liberals have been justifiably criticized for their efforts to alter classic works of fiction, conservatives seem to be pursuing a deeper and more pervasive effort to deny access to books they deem unacceptable.
But these same conservatives are the first to decry what they correctly describe as the war on conservative speech online, and the so-called "cancellation" of those who may have engaged in unpopular/unfashionable expression.
Why this disconnect?
Will the Constitution prevail, or are we on a steep slide into cultural darkness?
did you ever figure out if Jesus was crucified before or after passover meal.I read a banned book every day…. The Bible.
Worry about it.did you ever figure out if Jesus was crucified before or after passover meal.
i.e. Matthew 26:17 is passover first, vs John 19:31 is passover after.
If people in Florida can go into a book store and buy the books, they're not banned.What drives people to silence others, and quash the free exchange of ideas?
