Florida tried to ban a number of books and only ended up making them best sellers on Amazon.


I looked into it.

This one says that no books have been banned
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/fact...876468001/



This one seems to say that books or classes are banned or rejected.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/florida-...d=96884323
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in April signed the "Stop WOKE" act, which restricts lessons and training on race and diversity in schools and in the workplace, particularly anything that discusses privilege or oppression based on race, or whether someone "bears personal responsibility for and must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress" due to U.S. racial history. WOKE in the bill stands for "Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees."”


This one says there is a ban but no mention of what was banned.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world...70116.html
“The book removals are the latest chapter in a campaign by Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, to control public school education through his office by the banning of books, lessons and speech he deems to be objectionable.”


Apparently someone made a fake banned books list and it was being shared by “the internet”
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/florid...libraries/
“The list was originally posted by the owner of a Twitter account using the profile name "Freesus Patriot." That person stated the purpose of the original post was to mock various schools in Florida that were removing books from shelves in response to political pressure.”


So, I guess the entire thing is about republicans who don’t want abortion rights, LGBT rights, african-american rights and history to be talked about in the classroom.
