Florida books BANNED in schools...

See you sound normal for just a moment, until you resort back to your name calling.
I bet you'll get your panties in a wad again and run off and pout

 

They are taking away your rights to enforce the rights of others. People Bam competing ideas because they are afraid of them. Like Henry Aaron’s experiences with racism are not something they want their children to know about. Instead. They want to teach that our founding fathers started the abolition movement when they were slave owners and counted slaves as 3/5 of a person. Great men with great ideas who were men of their times. This is the way dictators operate. And, but the way, when the state takes away property rights from a company like Disney, as it did, and does not pay compensation for those rights, that is socialism. Let’s see if the state pays Disney billions from the surplus DeSantis brags about (which comes from federal COVID aid). Wouldn’t that be a win for the taxpayers of the state? All of which is why they ban books. Orwellian.

 

Here's Henry Aaron's Dream. I honestly don't know why it's banned. Were all of these books just banned this year? For all I know, this book could have been banned from the schools because it has multiple references to black people as "colored." I don't think that's a legitimate reason for banning it, but it would be useful context to know who pushed for the ban.

 

A Dog Named Haku is banned? That books is about helping a dog during a Hindu festival and is harmless.

It's the Festival of Lights in Nepal, and today is the day to honor dogs! Brothers Alu and Bhalu wander the streets of Kathmandu, passing by twirling kites and bamboo swings, looking for a dog to feed. But as night falls, their task begins to feel hopeless, until they spot a small black dog who is in need of a friend. This sweet story presents an important Hindu holiday through the eyes of two young boys, making it relatable for both those familiar with the holiday and those reading about it for the first time.

 

That's it in a nutshell, another of life's great ironies (utterly lost on the come on man crowd).

 

Where are these books banned?

 

Here's Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Again, I don't know why it was banned. The story about Roberto's lukewarm relationship with the media is true. All I know is, the name of my Little League team in the summer of 1971 was the Pirates. I'll always be proud of that, as if in some small way, my inner 10 year old self was part of it.

 

Henry Aaron’s book has the N word in it. That’s probably why. I have to ask,,, When was the book banned from Florida schools? Was this done recently?

Good read with some comments by Henry Aaron himself. If you really care about the boom ban you will read this.

They are missing the dictionary from their list

 

Apparently the banned book list is bogus.

The state of Florida has not banned a single book. As a matter of fact, some on the list are recommended reading.

Fact check: Fake list of banned Florida books circulates widely online

 

Well, there you go.

 

Don’t know the date. According to this list, it was temporarily removed for review by one county. FL Censorship Action By Title - Google Drive

 

The article you posted mentions there is no statewide ban which is true. I would expect the list to be county specific

 

Any worse than the “best post ever” crowd used by bigots who want to show how much they love a bigoted post?

 

Yep it is based on county/district so I'd ignore the USA article

Here are the books banned from Central Florida schools

We contacted every school district in Central Florida. Not every school district responded to our requests. The following is a combination of lists from the 10 Central Florida school districts that responded, or PEN America’s index.

 

You would think the journalist would have provided more detail. It didn’t take that much effort to find.

 

The Kite Runner is a great book btw

 

Could you Imagine if it was me that posted this, every liberal on this site would be s******* all over themselves trying to tell me I should have did better research.

 

It has the N word in it. That’s probably why. We’ve made that word the most vile word ever stated.

It’s caused people to kill each other, lose their jobs, be banned and shunned, etc. Why let a child read the word, repeat it and get in trouble?

My suggestion is to remove the N word and make the book available. Because of the N word kids and people will not have the ability to learn about the racist issues Henry Aaron faced. That’s the sad part.
