I think DeSantis might be more dangerous.

"From July 2021 to June 2022, PEN America’s Index of School Book Bans lists 2,532 instances of individual books being banned, affecting 1,648 unique book titles."

@ElwoodBlues I saw a clip on TV where there were no books in a school library because they were being reviewed. By Who? I get the feeling Huckleberry Finn would be banned because of Black Characters in the book. DeSantis doesn't want Conservative White Kids getting offended. They need a safe place, like the State of Florida.

@Pitchblue Florida passed a law in 2022 that said educators could be prosecuted for 3rd degree felony if they display any unapproved books.

And nobody knows what's been approved.

So the only safe way for educators to stay out of jail is to HIDE ALL THE BOOKS!!!

@ElwoodBlues DeSantis is trying to end Public Education.
