One book that’s been banned in another district is “And Tango Makes Three”, a children’s book about real same S*x penguins who raised a baby penguin together: https://www.fox13news.com/news/florida- ... on-law.ampValentina327 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 4:18 amQuick question: if teachers don't have a grasp on those things, how have they been preparing lesson plans for their classes all of these years?

Did they specify what books need to be removed to make it easier on teachers? Have they actually clearly defined "questionable content"? What happens if a parent complains? The phrase: "Require book selections to be free of pornography and prohibited materials harmful to minors, suited to student needs, and appropriate for the grade level and age group" is far too vague.
Not quite sure what's vague about appropriate for grade level and age group. Definitely not seeing what's vague about keeping porn out of the classroom. I mean, no porn in school sounds kind of basic to me. Like a bare minimum thing that a teacher should be doing. Maybe it's just me though.
Every site I’ve seen says it’s in the range of a first grade reading level: http://readingtokids.org/Books/BookView ... D=00001189
The illustrations or wording certainly aren’t pornographic. The only reason it’s banned is that it’s about an LGBT family, which is a family structure students in these classes might have. Teachers can have a perfect grasp on what they or the average person would consider “free of pornography and prohibited materials harmful to minors, suited to student needs, and appropriate for the grade level and age group” and still have to remove these books out of fear of legal consequences from very conservative parents who’ll complain about a book with perfectly age appropriate, non-pornographic content because it features something as simple as gay characters.
