According to the article > The law requires that all library books selected be:
> 1. Free of pornography and material prohibited under s. 847.012. s. 847.012. includes... > (3) A person may not knowingly sell, rent, or loan for monetary consideration to a minor:
> (b) Any book, pamphlet, magazine, printed matter however reproduced, or sound recording that *contains* any matter defined in s. 847.001, ... s. 847.001 includes numerous definitions (including a rather broad "Sexual content") many of which are devoid of exonerating literary context. I think the implication here is that many popular books like the ASOIAF series, many young adult books that I personally read in high school, and many important classics like 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc. that I don't find at all age-inappropriate for a high schooler would all be banned from school libraries. Unless I'm having some grave misunderstanding here Florida has just made it a felony for a high school lit teacher to loan a student a copy of *1984*. This is absurd puritanical behavior that frankly this makes me frightened for the US. |
