Florida Democrats are taking a page out of over-compensating Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’s playbook, asking each of the state’s fifty county school districts to review the book for content that violate’s DeSantis’s ambiguous dictum, the Daily Beast reports.
The requests are obviously publicity stunts, but they do have consequences: in many counties, such requests must be reviewed, meaning DeSantis’s book, “The Courage To Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival,” would be pulled from the shelves in those schools until a review can be completed. And there’s always the risk that a librarian could find something objectionable under DeSantis’s own guidelines to justify pulling the book for good so that the included disgusting content doesn’t infect the fertile minds of children, just like he planned.
