Florida Democrats' “serious concerns” about their own perpetuated cheating came under fire after they sent a letter to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calling for an end to non-existent book bans.
With misinformation and defamation seemingly central to the Democratic Party platform, placing the narrative that protecting children from graphic content and indoctrination constituted a book ban came as naturally as breathing. On Thursday, six Democrats from the Sunshine State led by Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Debbie Wasserman Schultz delivered a pearl-clutching rule based on easily debunked claims about materials deemed inappropriate for children in schools.
“As a result of your signing into law 1467 and 1069, Florida is now the national leader in banned books. Given this reality, and combined with your administration's recent decision to cut ties with the Association Americana de Libraries”, the letter. to read partly, “we strongly urge you to end this campaign of censorship in schools and to engage substantially with educators, librarians, and parents to protect our students' rights to an inclusive and well-rounded education.“
Cherfilus-McCormick and Wasserman Schultz were joined in signing the letter by Reps. Kathy Castor, Lois Frankel, Maxwell Frost and Darren Soto.
“We are writing to share our grave concern regarding the sharp increase in banned and challenged books across the state of Florida and your administration's alarming hostility toward schools, libraries, and the professionals who manage them for our voters,” they began breathlessly. “These combined actions, if left unchecked, will foster a harmful climate of repression and marginalization that degrades learning, understanding and undermines the basic liberties of all Floridians.”
Of course, the letter citing an American Library Association report that combined “banned or challenged” titles was the reality that any of the books on the list of 2,571 could be obtained at a local bookstore, from an online retailer. or even at a concert in the case of the virtue signaling artist Punk.
What books are banned? And why do you want porn in schools?

Books, of course, are not banned in Florida or anywhere else in this country.
But thanks to the people who signed this letter for letting us know that they shouldn't be taken seriously.

Why do Florida Democrats want these books in school when they are available wherever books are sold? pic.twitter.com/NoWXKLl4rq

Man Florida can't even ban books, I can't believe you can still buy these books in stores or get them at a Pink concert.

Despite the facts, Democrats lamented, “banning books featuring LGBTQI+ characters, themes, and stories deprives students of essential learning opportunities, denies them access to diverse perspectives, and fosters a culture of discrimination and exclusion.” .
Defying the will of Florida parents and state sovereignty, Frost introduced legislation at the federal level called the “Fighting Book Bans Act” that would allow Department of Education bureaucrats to take taxpayer money and run them to the left-run school districts. through grants to cover expenses to challenge state laws.
“Book bans in Florida and states across the country are a direct attack on our freedoms everywhere,” Frost said in a statement. “Since my home state shamefully leads the country in book bans, we cannot let this censorship and dismantling of our education system go unchecked.”
Along with Democrats pushing the false narrative, The Hill received calls for the handling of Community Notes on X after it ran a headline that referred to regulating what content was appropriate to carry in school libraries as a “ban on books”.
@CommunityNotes This headline isn't even real

There are no book bans. Any books that have been deemed inappropriate for certain age groups can be purchased by anyone who wants to read those books with their own money and not taxpayers' money.

@CommunityNotes This is not true. Florida has not banned any books. Schools have made decisions about whether certain books are appropriate for certain ages. This is not a ban. It is a responsible education.

Some argued that to uphold the Florida Democrats' demands, the state would have to provide access to all books written or still be guilty of “banning” the material from students. Others were just happy that the left was showing its desire to expose children to porn.
There are no banned books. School libraries are not required to carry all written books. If you can still buy the book in a bookstore or online, it's not banned. ♂️
