Florida teachers rush to hide and audit books in wake of GovRonDeSantis law
Teams of volunteers have been combing through and cataloging the books in the county's roughly 60 schools. They flag any questionable books for review by certified specialists.
Although the law was enacted late last year, the state provided training guidelines for schools earlier this month, according to Chapman. The guidelines don't list specific books that are banned but rather provide definitions for what constitutes pornography or other illicit material that must be taken off classroom shelves. So far, the district has flagged a limited number of books during its review, according to Chapman.
“In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child’s education. We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I’m proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency,” DeSantis proclaimed at the time. “If you have a lot of books like I do, probably several hundred, it is not practical to run all of them through [the vetting process], so we have to cover them up,” Don Falls, a history teacher at Manatee High School, told the Herald Tribune. “It is not only ridiculous but a very scary attack on fundamental rights.”
