IF, “WE THE PEOPLE,” REMAIN QUIET, AS IN LOOKING THE OTHER WAY, SIGHING LONG AND LOUD, OR REMAIN TOO BUSY PRETENDING THINGS WILL CHANGE ON THEIR OWN…THIS WILL HAPPEN, AND OH, BY THE WAY IS HAPPENING!
One school district in Florida is looking to extend the state's book ban to an unexpected genre: dictionaries. According to a list obtained and published by the nonprofit PEN America, the Escambia County school district has included five dictionaries, eight encyclopedias and "The Guinness Book of World Records," in its list of more than 1,600 books that could soon be banned. Also on the list are "Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary," "The Bible Book," "The World Book Encyclopedia of People and Places," "Guinness Book of World Records, 2000," "Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus for Students," and "The American Heritage Children's Dictionary."
CBS News reached out to the Escambia school district for comment, but did not hear back prior to publication. In a statement to The Messenger, a spokesperson for the district said that the books "have not been banned or removed from the school district." "Rather, they have simply been pulled for further review to ensure compliance with the new legislation," the spokesperson said. "To suggest otherwise is disingenuous and counterproductive." (CBS)
In Florida, it seems, to remain uneducated, illiterate, and stupid as shit is a MAJOR GOAL handed down from their IVY LEAGUE EDUCATED Governor, and the MAGA Cultists elected to public office. I read the quote from this BACK WOODS School District person, saying, "have not been banned or removed from the school district." "Rather, they have simply been pulled for further review to ensure compliance with the new legislation," the spokesperson said. "To suggest otherwise is disingenuous and counterproductive,” and I almost fell off of my seat. He or she says it would be DISINGENUOS AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to EVEN suggest that these books have already been banned…WHAT THE FUCK, no one would be saying a THING if the Self-Righteous, Bigots, Christian Nationalists, and wannabe Fascists pretending to act responsibly for ALL, had not ever considered the idea of BANNING THESE BOOKS!
COME ON “WE THE PEOPLE,” STOP PERMITTING THIS ANARCHY TO CONTINUE. FIGHT BACK -ACT UP-BE LOUD AND DEMAND CHANGE!
