Florida bill give DeSantis appointees wide power over state schools

A recent Florida bill shifts the power at state schools from professional educators to his hand-picked appointees, giving the governor wide latitude to ban books. People on the street react:

“DeSantis would ban the Nancy Drew mysteries if he could. That’s disgusting.”

“It’s Florida. This is the same state where a man drove a stolen truck to Cape Canaveral to warn them of a coming war between space aliens and dragons on earth.”

“I hope they don’t ban my book, ‘Roller Derby for Seniors.'”

“I dated an author once. He thought he was Arthur Conan Doyle. I ended it because he kept calling me Watson.”

“DeSantis wants to ban books? Good! More shelf space for Beanie Babies!”
