<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> signed a law this week that ends teachers&#8217; ability to abuse a book challenge law that was implemented to protect children from pornographic materials in school.</p>
<p>The law now significantly limits the ability of Florida residents who do not have children in the state&#8217;s education system to be able to challenge book titles.</p>
<p>“The idea that someone can use the parents rights and the curriculum transparency to start objecting to every single book to try to make a mockery of this is just wrong,” DeSantis said the day before the bill signing. “That’s performative. That’s political.”</p>
<p>DeSantis said that people did not want their time wasted by the leftists who were trying to get classic books banned.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t care about your performative efforts to try to make a name for yourself, that&#8217;s not appropriate,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So when you have some school administrators or teachers that are saying that somehow state law requires them to take classic books off the shelves, that is a lie. That is not true. That is depriving students of a valid education.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I think that 90% of the things, I mean, when they would say that somehow, &#8216;To Kill a Mockingbird&#8217; couldn&#8217;t be done when that was on the state&#8217;s summer reading list for the Florida Department of Education, don&#8217;t tell me Florida law says you can&#8217;t do that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;When they said you couldn&#8217;t do a book about Hank Aaron, when that was the Book of the Month for the Florida Department of Education, don&#8217;t tell us you can do that.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had one teacher put a video out, covered up every book in the classroom, &#8216;Oh, the state!'&#8221; DeSantis said mocking the teacher. &#8220;You know, that&#8217;s passive aggressive nonsense, and we&#8217;re just not going to tolerate it. &#8230; Here&#8217;s a good test. If I stood here with with a photo from one of these books and you guys wouldn&#8217;t be able to put it on your air, then it&#8217;s probably not appropriate in the sixth grade classroom. I mean, that&#8217;s probably where we go.&#8221;</p>
