> Any material used in a classroom, made available in a school library, or included on a reading list contains content that is pornographic or prohibited under s. 847.012, is not suited to student needs and their ability to comprehend the material presented, or is inappropriate for the grade level and age group for which the material is used. --Text from the bill.
"Inappropriate for the grade level" is so ambiguous that there's basicly no way for people to know if a book is OK or not. Ambiguous laws create fear and paranoia, as ordinary people are unsure if they're in violation of them. This has been a bit of a trend in bills of this nature proposed and passed under DeSantis; the "Don't Say Gay" bill had a similar issue.
