sounds like the group going through the books is confused or trying to make a point. 

 

The list contains books found in teachers’ classroom collections, not in school libraries. Many likely were not part of required instruction but were available to students for independent reading. The district said it could not yet provide a full count of how many books have been removed from school libraries this year.

The books pulled from classrooms represent “over censorship” by media specialists operating under “great fear” because of the new state laws that hold them responsible for every item on a shelf, said Karen Castor Dentel, an Orange County School Board member as the board discussed the list at its Dec. 12 meeting.

“It’s creating this culture of fear within our media specialists and even teachers who just want to have a library in their classrooms, so kids have access,” said Castor Dentel, a former OCPS elementary school teacher.

 

The interesting part about all this is most school libraries have transitioned to electronic. IE IPADS and E books.  And this seems to be more about what the teachers want in the classroom's vs the library thats ran by a librarian.

Don’t worry you are still able to buy all the soft trans porn books you want, even in Florida, just don’t donate it to the local preschool when the pages are too stuck together to read it. 

Or at all

I never thought I'd see the day when people were pissed off about not having and advocating for porn in children's libraries.  What country and dimension are we living in?

Right. Now imagine negotiating in good faith with these people on mundane policy like tax law or the like.

 

You can't.

Looks like the Saturday Fox lineup really gets them fired up. Maybe they put some caffeine in the Kool-Aid.

Quick reminder

 

No one is "burning books"

 

But carry on with your hysterics.
