The Florida government should be removed - not these books.
@@sommmeguy agreed!
These same people who want books with sexual content removed are the same ones that want Bibles in the classroom, a book full of sexual topics.
“I object to this book”
….you don’t have to read it 🤷🏻♀️
No, but you must buy it for others instead of them buying it on their own. That's democracy, right?
@@imperialmotoring3789 Whine some more for us!
@@imperialmotoring3789ever heard of a LIBRARY?
@@Theendofeverything7036sounds like they have not.
Exactly!!!!! And as a parent it’s MY job to monitor what MY children read!
Check your own child's knapsack, leave my child to me.
Let’s be real: a parent who supports book banning probably doesn't have a child who's an active reader to begin with.
And the parents don’t read
That is not an accurate assumption - I worked in a public library and some avid reader children still have these kind of parents.
Some of the people that have tried to get books restricted don't have any kids in school.
Anna Karenina is my favorite book! I read it at least four times. The first time was in high school.
Wtf is the matter with Florida??
It's ran by the Magat party. Keep that in mind at the polls in November.
Ron Disastrous & the Christo-fascist maga party.
MAGA
Tolstoy is very difficult but worth the effort.
For Whom the Bell Tolls is about fighting the fascists in Spain in the 1930s. Of course, MAGA would be opposed to that!
I regularly check the banned book list - for books to recommend to my child. If they are banning it, it must contain some important message.
Every time a conservative tells me they want to be able to raise their child their way, my blood boils. Then, leave mine the Hell alone.
The conservative book-banners broadly consider any LGBTQ content "pornographic", and any books that discuss the struggles of minorities as "racist, or damaging to white people". Explaining it objectively, because Jessica didn't mention this. These are the most common reasons why they want these bans.
This is christo-fascism and discriminatory in my opinion.
This is true. In the library I worked in we would find the objectionable books, everything from LGBTQ books, to books about Trump that they objected too (not favorable to the man), to books on climate change, etc. hidden around the library or missing all together - because some prejudiced yahoo would hide or steal them. Causing staff to waste a ton of time trying to locate the book for a patron who put the book on hold or just wanted help finding it on the shelf. These are also the people who object to Winnie the Pooh because the animals spoke as if human. Some people really need to get a grip!
Shades of Farenheit 451
Exactly
Zero books were banned though.
Horrific.
@@imperialmotoring3789Read both For Whom the Bell Tolls & Brave New World is HS. If you remove them from school libraries, the kids may not have access to public libraries, Right?
Not that anyone in Florida can draw that connection, because it's probably banned.
The Bible needs removed then. That is some horrific and inappropriate content for children
Amen. Most have never read the Bible.
It was. Then DeSantis got flustered and carved out an exception for the Bible.
@@jeannettel4759 Maybe they all already new it was a pornographic book and propagates genocide.
@@katerina13aarOf course, FL GOP would. The rule for thee but not for me…
Exactly.
The sooner Florida gets DeSantis out of office, the sooner the state will pull itself out of the Dark Ages. There's a social and economic cost to retaining a fascist-like Governor.
The sooner that Florida is underwater, the better.
Zelesnkyyyy is doing a great job avoiding war in the ukraine, right?
@@imperialmotoring3789 You're just trying to start a fight. God knows why.
@@demophys4883 I think refusing a peace deal and having your country destroyed is a bit worse than having parents purchase their own weird books for their weird kids.
@@imperialmotoring3789 So are you also ok with Mexico taking back part of the the Southwest US?
Did they remove the books that said the South succeeded from the Union, primarily because of Slavery or that next?
Seceded not succeeded
@@johnransom1146 Well they banned the grammar books and dictionaries in my University because they contained the word 'woke'.
Did they get rid of the Bible is the question. That book is filled with horrors
Democrats, not the "South". Democrats seceded (not "succeeded") because the Republicans wanted to end slavery.
@@agresseur7184 You went to a university and you still do not know "seceded" from "succeeded"? Not sure if that is woke or asleep at the wheel kid. How much do I owe on your college loan?
Is Ron Disastrous, the Christo-fascist maga party, & Mom's for Library named? I hope so. VOTE HARRIS / WALZ for a better, brighter, more positive future for America. VOTE BLUE Up & Down Ballot for DEMOCRACY! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
Both parties are for censorship. Left wingers want to change this and that. Left wing artists are censoring their own music so they don’t offend others.
Third Party Is only option. Desantis is angry at Trump still and Trump didn’t pick him as VP after Desantis said Trump lost fair and square when Democrats lie, cheat and steal.
All politicians should be put in prison
Hurrah for "several major publishers".
They banned The Lorax!!!!!! A great book.
So are For Whom the Bell Tolls & Brave New World.
What?! Because it's about taking care of the environment? (Also in Genesis and other parts of the Bible btw)
@@nanszoo3092 - not to offend the tree cutting down industry; something like that.
lol they banned brave new world?
The "trickle down" crime syndicate billionaires Silicon Valley Wall Street doesn't want the American People reading "Brave New World" because they'd realize what's going on. Tells you everything you need to know about what is really behind the "maga"...
Trust librarians!
I bet if you put racist or homophobic books in those same libraries, they wouldn’t try to ban them.
I despise book bans!
I DESPISE DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Trump, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma 👎
It's totally banned or just at schools? Parents can't buy these books for their kids if they want them? Explain how that's a ban?
i bet the bible is still on those shelves.
And the Quran which is just as evil
@@poollife777 There's a lot more talk about sex in the Bible than the damn Lorax.
Nice bias, though.
Go Publishers!
A MUCH better idea is that the state encourage library software companies to add a feature where parents can mark books they don’t want their kids checking out. I am for parental control. But not when that allows a parent to control children not their own.
Spending taxpayers money wisely aren’t you Desantis? How pathetic is desantis?!?
Most of the people complaining have no children in school.
Right-wing snowflakes, LMAO
Out with DeSantis!
Did they get rid of the Bible ?
(((( 😮 ))))
💙💙💙“Choose truth, honor, joy and freedom because that’s the best of America and we’re all Americans. Together let’s all choose KAMALA HARRIS!” OPRAH WINFREY 💙💙💙
About time Florida got sued.
Did they also ban Farenheit 451.
All of these bans are so arbitrary and capricious. If a parent approves of a book and another disapproves, who gets final say? How about the Constitution and the 1st Amendment? THAT is the final say.
@@poollife777 What's wrong with the library at the school?
@@poollife777 These bans also can affect public libraries too.
Thank goodness!!!! What gives these groups the right to decide what others can and can’t read????
Without hate and fear in your heart the MAGA party can't control you
*Their claim about pornography in these books is a LIE!* It's about time that publishers made this move. I worked in a public library for nearly 10 years in a state where library workers can be arrested for providing "inappropriate books" to children. The library I worked in left those decisions to the parents, which is where this belongs, not in the courts, and not by banning books. Parents can object to as many books as they want - just don't check them out. But public libraries serve the entire community - so why should other patrons be restricted by the choices of these narrowminded, lazy parents who don't want to take the time to explain things to their child but would rather keep them in some imaginary cocoon where their children are only exposed to the limited things their parent wants them to see. I can't help but wonder how those children are going to function in a world that will leave them behind, because they have no understanding of how others might live. Can you say CULT mentality?
Dystopia, Florida, bans books on dystopias. Does nobody see the irony here? Read Fahrenheit 451, a book about a society that has banned books. The Handmaid’s Tale, a book which the USA is becoming. Rename yourselves Gilead if you vote Trump back in.
@@poollife777 They have the right to decide what their child reads but not what other children read. All they can ethically do is to tell their child not to read certain books and somehow justify it to them.
The puritans need to honor the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution. The one that grants free speech and required separation of Church and State. They can regulate the books in their Churches, not our public institutions.
Florida is in a power struggle as to whether the most fascist state is Texas or Florida.
@@poollife777 spoken like a true book banning fascist.
Please every time you use the right wing’s “gives the parents more control” line that what they are doing is giving a small minority of parents the ability to tell all other parents what their own kids can read
I asked for these books from my library and I’m still waiting that was like a month ago.
Huh
If you live in FL, you have to buy the books. BC if FL GOP sees them in public libraries, they will remove them!
Let's hope it's because people are checking them out and reading them.
I remember going into Florida libraries as a child, teen, and young adult to learn more about everything I wanted to. I am sorry to see that people 50 years later do not have that freedom, that liberty to learn what they want about the world and society they live in. I have to ask - why exactly are Republicans so afraid of people who want to learn and expand their own understanding?
False Evidence Appearing Real for the ignorance and insecurity of fools.
I love book bans. Kids are starting to read again. If yo want a kid to do something just tell them they are not allowed to do it.
exactly!
🕊 💙 🕊 Vote for Freedom 🇺🇸
@@nancychandler367 why don’t you look at the pictures in that book that they’re showing, “gender queer”? Tell me why you think kids should look at pornographic acts.
@@Riclmnopp
Being LGBTQ isn’t pornographic.
@@moonshoes11 That book I mentioned shows a picture of two guys giving a B. J to each other, you think *kids* in school should see that?
@@Riclmnopp
I doubt your claim, and you didn’t mention any specific book.
That sort of content isn’t related specifically to LGBTQ either.
@@moonshoes11 the book is called “gender queer” it’s on the thumbnail of this video.
If they really cared, they would just create an age-based rating system like they did with movies and not ban anything.
Let the books remain on the bookshelves in all libraries. Let parents supervise what their own young children read at home.
Yet the w.a.p video on youtube is still going strong with no age restrictions.
Lol u mad
Why are the "holy" "responsible" "parents" buying "phones" for toddlers????
Florida man. Remember when it was just the scam, retirement & drug capital?
This what people get for paying attention to the president election instead of Local n state elections 💀
I ❤ it that FLORIDA is being SUED over this, PLEASE do same to Oklahoma, Texas, and ARKANSAS 👍👍👍👍
So a child goes to a school library and can't find a band book, so looks up the book line to find all of the band books. Seems pointless.
The best censorship is… Self-censorship. If I choose to not read something, then I just will not read it. But, if I want to read it, it better damn well be on the shelf! 📚📚📚⚖️
Maybe edit the bible a little bit???? It's a bit extreme
Maybe edit the lgbtquia handbook that they give to children.
@@imperialmotoring3789Why are you so defensive about the Bible? How are Hemingway, Tolstoy, or Huxley books offending you?
@@poollife777that things been changed so many times lol. That’s not even including translation errors
@@poollife777 There are hundreds of versions of the bible in English. It has changed constantly over the decades and centuries.
@@tringuyen7519 Why are you so defensive about "palestine"?
For whom the bell tolls, wtf
It’s about fighting the fascists in Spain in the 1930s. MAGA=fascists. Thus, it’s banned!
How did it take this long?
My step dad was the most Jesus like conservative I've ever met. He would never tell me as a teen to not read For Whom the Bell Tolls. It's a classic like Slaughterhouse and A Brave New World. These nutobs got to go.
@@poollife777 Not when public school libraries remove it for political purposes. Do you like a nanny state regulating your guns (like the founders did and intended)?
Finally!!!👏🏼
There are plenty of books that are pulled for "social content", i.e.: Duval County, Florida, has banned 176 books from their schools. This includes picture books [k-3gr] about Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Jim Thorpe, and Roberto Clemente . Most of the Banned Books present a non-white or"ethnic" cultural narrative, show a historical perspective or tell a story about someone in history [ Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman]. If a parent doesn't want their OWN child to read a certain book it has always been the case to let the librarian know.....no one forces any child to read any book. But, don't decide what MY kids can read. It is censorship plain & simple. It is all over FL & other states.
There are many families with same sex parents. I believe most libraries arent just forcing those books.
If these people actually read a book they would know it’s not pornography. Now the Bible has so much graphic material that if you really want to ban something.
Americans need to sue FLORDIA. Or give us back our books.
🇺🇸Freedom of the press 💙
Do people still read ?
Florida government needs to make sure students can read first before they consider taking books out of libraries. I live in Florida and the education system is a joke. The worst I've ever seen in the many states I've lived in over my lifetime.
Have you ever looked up public education rankings by state and category? Don't worry about doing any research, I don't suppose you and facts would get along well.
Kids have the internet...
Take it away for school work
Excellent!
GOOD! I support this law suit! So much for the party of “freedom of speech”. Their hypocrites.
Liam Tolstoy? Must have been Leo’s cousin. 😂
Books are guilty before proved innocent.?
I thing is, if I had bought one of these banned stephen king books and read them during recess, then what?! They suspending me?
A lawsuit? About time!
They should remove the bible then. Too much sex in that book.
@@poollife777The same book that glorifies bashing the babies of one’s enemies against the rocks in psalms …
Excuse me….. who’s read ANY Roman, Grecian mythology? Banning that, too????
CBS News, great video I loved it
The sex scene in For Whom The Bell Tolls where El Sordo and his men are on the hilltop just before the plane hits them is my favorite scene in that book.
Oh by the way Florida has Officials On the School board That are having me' nage A' trois. Give your Students the tools to Know the Difference
The ban will propel teens🤣😂🤣 to read those books. Humans love anything prohibited
Hell yeah!!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍😃😃
That law is a direct effort agains against freedom of thought which should be in constitution. An action against freedom of thought is even more serious crime than limiting freedom of speech as it enables attacks directly against basic rights like freedom of voting which is a subset of freedom of thought. There is something very dodgy going on with that medieval book ban. How those book burners like their children to start get information about sex when they come in to that age? That age is long before they are supposed to get married. It should be well defined well meaning educational route instead of every individual being left alone with their rapidly changing self image. And not to make thing too easy each person's sexual substance is unique.
Those books are very good way to get grasp what it is about and what humans think and feel about it.
Now instead of that extremely crucial true and decent information affecting for rest of their lifes children are thrown into hands of criminals operating for example in social media. Or pornographic content in internet. And without any tools to deal with it.
How can you think that parents could be any better than the law makers who are supposed to be high professionals making things happen?
That is quite a crime of neglience right there by Florida law makers which they pass to parents.
It sounds like they don't have the guts to deal with the issue in a proper way to create an education program to help children to meet the tsunami and the easiest way to deal with this nuisance is to make a law that bans everything and outsources the "problem" to random group of people who have no qualifications whatsoever to act on it.
But those lawmakers are themselves products of that taboo, so how could they speak constructively about it? They lack jargon and the easiest thing to do is stick your head in the bush i.e. ban the blue sky.
If you can’t read brave new world then you won’t know how badly we’re playing you socially and economically. 😂. Great logic.
I can’t define pornography but I know it when I see it.
Teachers should be making these determinations. Always. In every scenario. Not parents. Not administrators. Teachers.
And this is one of the many reasons there are not enough teachers. But maybe that is the plan too
What a great set of questions by the host and what a miserable set of answers by the guest. She was brought in to interpret the interpretation of the ruling. She ended up parroting the ruling.
Just bc a book is in a library doesn’t mean that kids are forced to read it. Only kids who have the curiosity, imagination, & reading skills can read a Tolstoy!
Good

Zero books were banned though.
You're just repeating the lies Duh Santis has published.
There is No Line when these children are walking around and using cellphones! Forget the books these kids never read but look at what they’re looking at on their cellphones!!
My nieces read voraciously. Teens are hungry for knowledge about the world. Books provide that & helps prepare them for college!
Everyone hates book bans so is it ok to have playboy or hustler in a children's library?
If you are under 17 then your parents have the right to choose what their kids have access too.
You don't have the right to choose what MY kids have access to. Now go back under your rock.
Please continue to believe everything you see on TV 😂
Haven’t we always done age-appropriate books for schools? Maybe show the pictures in that book “gender queer”. Oh that’s right you can’t, because your video would get deleted.
Pictures? Lol brave new world and Tolstoy aren’t picture books
@@stancexpunks the book I specifically mentioned (Gender queer) does have pictures.
Ya know, I think I saw that gender queer book with a paper band cover in with the adult magazines at a magazine stand. I saw men lined up looking for it, they can't get enough of it. Good thing they can line up at the library and get it there......I've seen lines at every library in towns across the USA.
Try being more involved in your child's life and stop worrying about others. Try teaching them fiscal responsibility, proper driving or gun safety?
@@NoTks it shows a picture of two guys giving a B. J to each other, you think *kids* in school should see that?
@@Riclmnopp If they have the internet they have already seen it.......welcome to the real world.
So can parents get these books for their kids if they want? Yep
We did. We paid taxes, some of which went to buying those books. You too scared to let your kid Mark Twain? That's unfortunate, it really is. But you don't get to make every other kid in the district as ignorant as yours.
@@demophys4883 you can go to the library and get it for your kid.
We need the government to co-parent?
@@travisbryant3185 Nope. Often the public library will be under the same restrictions.
@trevx3680 so an adult can't go get it for their kids?
This kooky lady seems to be kinda alright with banning books.
Ball all the homosexual books
The books aren't banned if you can still buy them. They aren't banning books they are pulling them from school libraries.
Putting information behind a paywall absolutely is a ban and an attempt to control said information. You’re not the good guys.
They’re banning them from classrooms and libraries.
Who gets books at the school library now?
Students.
Those examples are not the real issue with the book band. Bias report again.
if the books highlighted are banned, it is not biased.
@@jusletursoulglobabyAgreed. Hemingway, Tolstoy, & Huxley are being banned in school libraries. If the kids don’t have access to Public libraries, they can’t read the books.
Our schools have been ruining our children for years why do you think we keep declining as a nation.. it's about time we make some changes. Protect our children
hypocrite
@johnphantom just like a liberal for attacking someone for their opinion you are the problem John
@@charactersource8134 No, the problem is people like you, who think they should be able to prevent other people from reading certain books. And the decline you mention has nothing to do with reading materials, and more with underfunding (courtesy of people like you).
@demophys4883 yes I have a problem with children learning about sexual activity and gender and other things that do not belong in an adolescents development. Instead we should focus on things like mathematics science and financial literacy. Their are plenty of books to read. We should read the bill of rights and constitution then maybe our country will know it's identity.
@@charactersource8134 Ahh the Bill of Rights. Two of the big ones are Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Those cover books.
Let’s be honest…those Florida boys ain’t readin Tolstoy anytime soon anyways.
