Fl. school district bans dictionary to comply with...

A DeSantis law....

AFlorida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) book-banning law.


The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.


The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.

Florida is quickly becoming the laughing stock of the USA.

Well, the Republicans DO love the uneducated.  They are apparently accelerating the process so more Americans will be dumb and dumber.

Just a way for us educated folks to accumulate more wealth. MAGA!

i think it would be funny to use this law against the Republicans by banning things like the history books which leave Jefferson out.  but that really doesn't work, does it?  liberals want people educated- and giving students LESS resources doesn't accomplish anything.
