That state also established a policy for the mandatory sex education curriculum recently. It bans conversion therapy material being taught because it is not evidence based or inclusive. There's a lot of states that have banned it besides that one. Do I care? no, not particularly. This is the Florida "book ban" law which is actually an "instructional material" ban. https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.aspx?FileName=_h1467er.docx&DocumentType=Bill&BillNumber=1467&Session=2022 https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Documents/loaddoc.aspx?F... Not a general book ban which would likely be unconstitutional. The original objection raised here was that the governor is taking powers he doesn't have was it not? Specifics of one state's constitution aside, if a governor of one state can decide what is taught, why can't a governor of another? As I said, banning material or requiring material is something both parties do or would do. I also remembered there is a california school district that banned "To Kill a Mockingbird" recently for racism.

> The original objection raised here was that the governor is taking powers he doesn't have was it not? No one ever said that. This is not a discussion of gubernatorial powers. Just what is right/wrong. Re: to kill a mocking bird you are mistaken. That was parents complaining and forcing the school to remove it from the curriculum. It is still available for students to check out. Not the governor, not removed from the school. Do I think it’s stupid and shortsighted? Absolutely. But it is not what we are talking about. Where are these bible bans you were talking about? Seems you also abandoned your claims about Newsom banning remedial classes given real context. Frankly it feels like you’re just throwing a bunch of claims at the wall until something sticks, despite still having not proven basically anything you claimed is happening. A lot of “I heard that…” type stuff. The closest you’ve come are out of context, not as you described, or straight up irrelevant. Either way this has gone on long enough. I’m done. Have a good one.
