New resource from @UABookBans and @interfaithusa for how your faith group can defend intellectual freedom. uniteagainstbookbans.org/banned-books-b…
Since HB 1285 passed last month, dozens of citizen objections have been logged in Polk, Hillsborough, and Bay Counties by single individuals (assisted by special interest “freedom” and “liberty” groups). This is what we have tracked so far via PRR. There will be more.
Update on the new challenges in @BayDistSchools obtained through PRR. More than two dozen citizen objections filed over the past month - all but two filed by the same person. All of them used Booklooks forms to generate their complaints.
We have a new blog post on our @sljournal blog, Politics in Practice, "Fighting Public School Book Bans with the Civil Rights Act." ow.ly/6kHp50Rp9pI
Another update to the @collierschools list of permanently removed books returns 24 titles to the shelves including The Inheritance Games, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Girl with a Pearl Earring, On the Road, and The Impossible Life of Memory. A long list still: collierschools.com/cms/lib/FL0190…
We are grateful to have authors write letters and show up to board meetings in an effort to help fellow citizens understand the heart behind their works. But, saving a book from permanent banning shouldn’t take 3x as much effort as what’s required to initiate its banning.

Here's the most basic, boiled-down primer for how to fight book bans in 2024. It's short, sweet, and to the point. By the awesome @veronikellymars literaryactivism.substack.com/p/how-to-fight…
“Today, in 2024, it’s our duty to resist the devaluation of local Black history — and remember.” - @NadegeGreen miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/…

@FLFreedomRead Imagine if these people actually spent their time volunteering for worthy causes.
Watching this one closely. 👀 The idea that a court in the United States of America could rule school- or any- libraries are places for “government speech” rather than free expression is almost unbelievable.
“I cannot conclude now that the government-speech doctrine for closed the plaintiffs’ claim.”
We have a new blog post on our @sljournal blog, Politics in Practice, "Fighting Public School Book Bans with the Civil Rights Act." ow.ly/6kHp50Rp9pI
Florida school districts continue to field book challenges. One author is fighting back. That story, plus the latest on college protests, school lunches, Title IX pushback and more, in today's @TB_Times Florida education news roundup. tampabay.com/news/education…
Opinion: Why is #Florida No. 1 in book bans? The answer lies in loose laws, irresponsible state leadership and a misled public. floridapolitics.com/archives/67102… via @FLFreedomRead
Anyway, have a good night.
Four years is a goddamn long time to keep putting your neck out there and have your personal and professional life impacted by it (hi, my books are banned IN RETALIATION for this work and I'm the only one who seems to continue shouting about that). I'm exhausted.
Just to be clear: I don't *have* to write any of the censorship stories I pour every ounce of my time, energy, and mental health into. I *choose* to do it because it's important. The number of times I've considered just stopping–and still consider it–is not zero.
More than 2,500 of Florida’s recorded book banning incidents came from just three districts. These attempts included Webster’s dictionaries, “Brave New World,” “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” “Anna Karenina,” and even “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” floridapolitics.com/archives/67102…
.@FerrellStephana of @FLFreedomRead and @TasslynM: Why is Florida No. 1 in book bans? The answer lies in loose laws, irresponsible state leadership, and a misled public. is.gd/nhfKh2
“When education in the United States first started, every school was a religious school. That was just part of it. Public schools were religious schools,” @GovRonDeSantis said, adding the founders intended it so. Historians say that's not quite right. tampabay.com/news/education…
@FLFreedomRead Here is a 🔗 to Bruce Friedman's Google drive where he keeps all his challenges. He shared this drive on the Duval Mom's for Liberty FB group and also references @PENamerica As the best place to find what books to ban. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
Funny thing about DeSantis' *we just want the kind of public ed they had back in colonial times* is that the GOP vision of rich people paying for tutors and everyone else going to pauper schools feels closer every day tampabay.com/news/education…
He has all his challenges on a Google drive that he has readily posted in M4L groups but "we are not banning books" is their motto.
