So what's next after banning "woke" books?

[vlyons]

Let me guess. All books about Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Greek mythology, Wiccans, Sufis, and other non Christian-Judeo religions disappear from library shelves. Then might as well ban books about the labor movement too. Certainly don't want the kiddies reading the biographies of people they don't like. And do away with the whole anthopology section, because non-white, non-Christian, non-American cultures and customs aren't worth reading about anyway.

BTW, who are they to tell me what books my kids can't read? It's one thing for them to decide what their minor children can and can't read, but quite another to decide that for another parent. Is their book banning not an infringement on the rights of parents? They don't want their kids reading about FDR and Thurgood Marshall? OK. But don't decide that for my children.

1. The ultimate goal is all children forced to attend christofascist religious schools.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. That would be horrible.

Another reason NOT to move to Florida.

The Colleges and Universities there would surely shut down.

Question asked of a Florida student...."What's your major?"

Florida Student...." Ugh God".

(I am being serious here. If this is the goal of Florida Lawmakers to ban everything and remake the Florida Education system, this is likely going to happen.)

10. Final Solution

This is a deranged and fascist group, their ultimate goal is genocide of some sort. Steve Bannon admits as much.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Don't give Ronnie D any ideas to shut down Book sellers like B & N...

He can try, but they have just as good of Corporate Lawyers as well.

Private businesses like independent Bookshops, Barnes & Noble, etc., cannot be bullied. The various topic sections of books are too numerous to go after.

8. The publishers of those books have lawyers too

If you don't want your children to read "Catcher in the Rye," then refuse to sign a school library permission document. Kids whose parents withhold library access permission, get to go to study hall and do their homework. Kids whose parents grant permission get to go to the library to read and check out books.

9. Yes indeed.

They too are protected speech under the 1st Amendment.

[Ocelot II]

4. Burning them.

[cos dem]

5. They want to indoctrinate your children with their toxic fascism.

Maybe even turn your kids against you.

6. Joke books next because humor is insidious to anti-woke

Joke books next because humor infiltrates and satire criticizes.
However the backlash will be Sunday morning anti-church sidewalk 'walks' under the signage, "Ban the Bible! It teaches hate"

[DBoon]

7. political loyalty oaths for all public school employees

dismissals of employees who engage ind "disloyal" behavior such as taking a political stance against the governor's policies, supporting LGBT or racial justice causes, maybe even frequenting gay friendly venues.

Blacklists of these individuals that hurt anyone who hires or supports them.

I'll see if I can find any other 1950s McCarthy tactics that DeSantis would use.

[world wide wally]

11. "Cool" has to be next. Be careful or you will lose anyghing you consider "cool"

if you live in Florida.

[jalan48]

12. Maybe Music.

[RAB910]

13. After banning a book about Seahorses, maybe actual seahorses

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. Next? Those who read non-approved literature will be banned.

[Nevilledog]

15. Books about women and all women authors

This Christian pastor says women “need to be pastored by men” and that “we live in a feminized culture, an effeminate a culture, a culture where men have been abdicated or been excluded, and all for the sake of the sensibilities of women.”

They're just ticking off thing on their Hate List

17. What's next?

Banning words, spoken or written, that do not perfectly match the authoritarian's handbook.

It's already begun with: With Don't Say Gay. Followed by Woke, Equity, Multiculturalism, Inclusivity, Sexism, Racism, White Supremacy, etc., etc.

Dictionaries will be very thin when it's over, language reduced to grunts.

Happy Days!

[Samrob]

18. The New Testament, probably. nt
