A southwest Florida school district added warning labels to more than 100 books, many of which touch on issues related to race or the LGBTQ community.
“This Advisory Notice shall serve to inform you that this book has been identified by some community members as unsuitable for students,” the label states. “This book will also be identified in the Destiny system with the same notation. The decision as to whether this book is suitable or unsuitable shall be the decision of the parent who has the right to oversee his/her child’s education consistent with state law.
.” The report included a list of books that “promote gender self-identification and same-sex marriage” as well as titles that include “indecent and offensive material,” according to the group.“I said, ‘It’s unfortunate, because this is a literary work.
Reading about how native Americans were savages and how Mexicans were wrong in fighting for their land at the Alamo was okay. Gotcha! 😉
Grooming, Teaching Hate and Division
'some' community members? SOME? What 3 people
You mean similar to movie ratings
I know that the specific label for a fact will draw more attention to it for students. Thanks for advocating for lgbtq rights. As if “mature” labels on CD’s years ago kept kids from using it. It only encourages it
What prudes!! It is what it is, black, brown, red, white. Some people can't handle the truth, there is racism & our children need to know the truth. American Indians have been treated like 2nd class citizens! White man came & butchered the Indians! Aloha 🤙
Typically, students would want to read banned books or books with 'insensitive' labels so this isn't even a deterrent, it's an incentive. Congratulations to that district for advocating for more book reading.
Well then, it will make the books easier to find. All the students should ban together and gravitate towards the books with those stickers
In other words, a reading list.
🤦🏻♀️
Oh FFS
This is a step in the right direction, kids don’t need to be hearing about lgbbq stuff
Snowflakes.
Embarrassing. Warning labels on books? To prevent or do what exactly? Folks from reading about gay people? And how does that accomplish anything? It’s just pure performative nonsense. To gin up the haters. +It’s so 40 years ago. Meanwhile, kids spend their day on the internet.
👿👿👿👿👿
I read many books high school in the 80’s. Why so many books about that? Kind of weird b
Smmfh
I would identify those community members as unsuitable.
...and thus guaranteed those books will be the most sought after by students.
Florida just doesn’t want children to learn anything
