First paragraph from you second link, seems they will be back when reviewed ... Florida House Bill 1467. It requires all schoolbooks to be reviewed by a district employee holding an educational media specialist certificate, to ensure the books are grade level appropriate and free of pornography. how books with porn got into a childs library I dont know, makes sense you would want to be thorough in reviewing everything.

  It also requires meetings to be made open to the public so that a mob can come give their uninformed harassment to said specialists. Edit: Just read the bill in full; the only mention of 'pornographic' in the bill is that schools are required to let parents present evidence that a book is pornographic. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1467/BillText/er/PDF https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1467/BillText/er/... > Each district school board must adopt a policy regarding an objection by a parent or a resident of the county to the use of a specific instructional material, which clearly describes a process to handle all objections and provides for resolution. The process must provide the parent or resident the opportunity to proffer evidence to the district school board that: [...] b. Any material used in a classroom, made available in a school library, or included on a reading list contains content that is pornographic It seems to me that the biggest change here is that the state is mandating that media specialists are systematically undermined.

Seems to me, when this is all said and done, there will be nothing but Bibles on FL School bookselves. 25 years or so ago, for a convention (handicap related convention), I went to a large city in a very "red" US State. I had to go to the mall for something. In that two floor mall there were 4 Book Stores that sold nothing but Bibles. And to top that off, seemed every other Radio Station (FM) there were preachers reading the Bible. I could see 1 Bible Store in that mall, but 4 in the same mall ???? How many types of christian bibles are there ? Where I live, I never ever saw a book store that sold nothing but Bibles. In book stores here, there would be a small section in the rear that had various bibles. So, that is my prediction for FL, you herd it first here :)
