Please, I beg you to pay attention. They don't need the miller test, they don't need book challenges. They are banning books via twitter now. The goalposts have shifted and they are unphased by the ruling as the commissioner just tweets which books to remove where.

Jodi Picoult saying "okay florida i see you" but not talking about the fact that the FL BOE can just tweet at superintendents to tell them to ban her books now, the way they just did to my superintendent about Trans Mission by Alex Bertie is telling me that no one is actually seeing Florida at all.
thanks for watching!

feel free to tell him he's advocating to violate both HCPS book removal process AND the equality FL settlement
How about all of you actually listen to the vast majority of HCPS parents like myself who have reiterated time and time and time again WE DONT WANT YOU PULLING BOOKS OFF THE SHELVES AND VIOLATING HCPS PROCESS. Fuck you.

They gave NO defense for why they voted this way and the attorney from Pasco County attorney's office shut down a patrons request to understand the collection double standard of why this book must be in the adult section but Amelia Bedelia's First Vote can stay in the children's section.
Pasco county library system voted unanimously to keep Jacob's Missing Book by Ian Hoffman and Sarah Hoffman in the ADULT NON FICTION section today rather than move it to the children's section where it belongs. The meeting was ridiculous and disgusting.
The Commissioner posted this βproofβ without evidence that it was from a student profile within a FL school districtβs account.
These are reading lists from a public libraryβs account without access to read the books in app.
Each account can develop unique reading challenges for their users.
"They're not banning books they're removing explicit books from public schools" then whats this? Bc the public libraries in Hernando county are being changed by a small group who want to remove what they don't like, calling it "woke". That's not about public schools OR explicit content. #bookbans
Moms for liberty keeps telling me this book isn't appropriate for public schools so I read it myself to be an informed parent. Now I have things to say about it. Wanna see my thoughts on Felix Ever After early? Join the free tier of my Bindery readswithrachel.binderybooks.com

Banned books are often amplify marginalized voices & question harmful systems.
In a time when booksβespecially those by marginalized authorsβare being banned more than ever, reading them is an act of resistance.
