More rule and policy changes from Florida’s Board of Education are again drawing mixed reactions.
When it comes to challenging books in public schools, the new rule gives parents the option to appeal disputes over potentially banned books to a special magistrate if the parent doesn’t agree with the district’s decision to a book challenge.
In a State Board of Education meeting recorded by The Florida Channel, parents testified this will only create more problems. “I have practiced law for 40 years. I dealt with magistrates for over 10 years, and I can tell you it is not this simple. Parents and schools will be challenged legally forever,” another testified.“It is not, ‘Oh, they followed the policy, but I did not agree with it.’ It is do they have a policy, No. 1. Did they follow the policy? That is it. It is a very limited appeal,” Gibson said.
“As a mother of an outgoing senior, I have to thank you for this proposed rule. This proposed rule helped to create a safer learning environment for all faculty staff and students not just the loudest few,” one parent said.
