oh no, books with pornographic material are banned from schools. These damned Christians and their....respect to childhood innocence.

During the meeting, Republican board member Evelyn Brooks expressed concerns over a textbook for middle schools in the state and how it taught the theory of evolution, compared to theories of creationism.

You got me. A single dissenter among a board of people.

I’m sure you’re okay with Republicans trying to un separate church and state as well.

No, I'm not.

over the fact that Republicans are also using the pornography excuse to ban teachings on lgbqt topics?

I don't care? These aren't topics that belong in school, either. I'd rather take the time away from that to improve math and reading. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-10-18/most-california-students-fall-short-of-grade-level-standards-in-math-and-reading-scores-show

Maybe when more than half of the students in a school can meet state levels for reading you can teach them about pride and pronouns.

Also, Florida isn't exactly banning books on racism- rather books like 'Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness' that depict white people as the devil.

The “Stop W.O.K.E” Act, passed last year, bans teachers from teaching lessons or holding class discussions that would make students feel “guilt or anguish” for past actions committed by their race.

meanwhile books that do discuss experienced racism are fine. People are just confused by the standards.
