Book Ban

 

Jeffrey St. Clair

+ The book ban in the Escambia County, Florida school district now includes the American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary, all for defining words like “sex” and “intercourse.”

+ Florida’s State Board of Education has passed a rule to “permanently prohibit” Diversity, Equity and Inclusion on the state’s 28 college campuses and replaced the course “Principles of Sociology” with a course in American History. The Board stated: “The aim is to provide students with an accurate and factual account of the nation’s past, rather than exposing them to radical woke ideologies, which had become commonplace in the now replaced course.”
