A librarian’s view of Florida’s book ‘vetting’ for schools, and the banned titles
A vetting process to comply with Florida guidelines to school books has caused chaos for students and teachers, writes Richard Hall

Its been removed from school libraries by Desantis thought police.
Now I read it about 40 years ago and I found it hard work. So I guess that it wouldnt appeal to too many teens. But there will be some who would read it and appreciate what the author was talking about.
But now they will be denied that opportunity.Florida will not be rearing any philosophers any time soon.
It seems that desantis is intent on cultivating a generation of morons.
This is a book written by one of thee major figures of the last century. Le Monde rated it the book of the century. Its been in print since 1942 and translated into every language.
It isnt teaching tots to give blow jobs. The idea that some partisan hack can just cancel it is Maoist in the extreme.
Some day a novel will be written about the Florida book burnings. Ron would ban that on day one.
