Are you a Republican weirdo in favor of book bans and anti-LGBTQ legislation? ~

How do these things contribute to “making America great again,” and for whom?

Which books are they asking to be banned?
Excellent question! I have here a collection of books ALREADY banned by republicans.

Some books banned in Florida schools

I don't know WHY Florida banned so many math books, but they did.
May 6, 2022 — A Florida Department of Education review of 132 math books has led to the banning of more than 40% of them.

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

And nobody knew what had been approved.

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