A Florida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s ® book-banning law.
The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.
The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.
This is a worrisome sign.
No it’s a good thing. Malicious Compliance will bite Desantis in the arse.
Really? People are going to destroy his political career over a dictionary?
From little acorns, mighty oak trees grow.
That sounds like something someone with a small acorn would say
Actually I have a couple of small acorns, thankyouverymuch
You are missing it.
They pulled the dictionary in malicious compliance it wasn’t that DeSantis ordered it pulled.
And DeSantis is destroying his own career
