@Strictgram says [quote]DeSantis approves facts not leftist propaganda.
[/quote] The sad truth is that DeSantis & his ilk in FL are banning factual books about US history. They've banned books about Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman for God's sake!!

[quote]In the wake of public controversy surrounding the bill, here are {some} books banned in Duval County. The following come from a list of 176 removed books in the county by Pen America, a nonprofit that advocates for freedom of expression in literature.

“The Life of Rosa Parks” is a biography of the life of the late civil rights leader who was arrested after not giving up her seat on a segregated bus system. It is part of a series about the life of historical icons adapted for children. Similar to the other books in this list, it has been removed from libraries and classrooms until further review.

“Carter Reads the Newspaper” is a biographical book about the life of Carter Godwin Woodson. Carter was born to two formerly enslaved parents who encouraged him to read the newspaper to be informed on current events. He was an African American historian who was one of the first to study the history of the African diaspora, which led to the creation of Black History Month.

“Black Frontiers” is a historical account of black pioneers who settled the western United States. It retells stories of African-American miners, homesteaders, cowboys and gold rushers. The book has many photographs of their life on the frontier.

“Before She Was Harriet” details the famed life of the iconic women who helped the enslaved escape through the Underground Railroad. The book uses poetry and watercolors to show off her exploits.

“The Double Life of Pocahontas” is a biographical account of the life of the famed indigenous woman who befriended the residents of the Jamestown colony. The book aims to dispel the myths around her life that are romanticized in popular media and details her lived experience. [/quote]
