FL Gov. DeSantis Walks Back Book Ban Statute He Championed

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's (R) Culture War, Book Banning Statute, has resulted in Chaos, Confusion, and Anger, as Florida has Banned the Highest Number of Books in the Country from Schools and Public Libraries.

Florida Teachers and Libraries face Felony Charges, and up to 5 years in Prison, for carrying Unauthorized Books.

One source of Confusion and Frustration, has been that Right-Wing Activists with No Children, in the Public School System, are making Mass Complaints, about Books in certain Libraries and Schools.

This was something Democrats Complained about at the Time, that the Statute is incredibly Vague, making it impossible to know how any particular Book Violates it, and that Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime, can Complain about a Laundry List of Books, sending School systems, into Panic mode.

Now, upon His return to Florida, after His Presidential Campaign, Ron DeSantis has decided to Walk-Back His Policy, under a Firestorm of Criticism about the Law. This Morning, He actually expressed Outrage at His own Supporters and the very Law He Championed:

"With objecting - if you go to a school board meeting objecting. If you have a kid in school, okay. But if you're somebody who doesn't have a kid in school and you're gonna object to 100 books? No, I don't think that's appropriate. So I think the legislature is interested in limiting what the number of challenges you can do, and maybe making it be contingent on whether you actually have kids in school or not. We just want to make sure we're not trying to incentivize frivolous objections or any type of games being played."

This is One of the Mmain things that, all throughout 2021-22 when Right-Wing Activists, led by Moms for Liberty, Libs of TikTok, and Others who had No Children, in the Public School systems, were besieging Schools and School Board Meetings, causing Absolute Chaos.

They complained that the Wording of this Statute would Lead to exactly what DeSantis is now Complaining about. But back then, He was a Culture Warrior building His Brand to Run for President. Not only did He Not want to hear it, He encouraged these People. He employed these People.

Now, Ron DeSantis wants to Walk it All Back, when Florida is facing Record Teacher Shortages, Complaints from Parents and Administrators, and as He realizes that His Book Bans have made Him Toxic, to the rest of America.
